Analyzing Graphs

Front

What is a graph?

Back

A graph is a visual representation of data that shows the relationship between two or more variables.

Front

What does the x-axis represent in a graph?

Back

The x-axis typically represents the independent variable or the input values.

Front

What does the y-axis represent in a graph?

Back

The y-axis typically represents the dependent variable or the output values.

Front

What does it mean when a graph is increasing?

Back

An increasing graph shows that as the independent variable increases, the dependent variable also increases.

Front

What does it mean when a graph is decreasing?

Back

A decreasing graph shows that as the independent variable increases, the dependent variable decreases.

Front

What does 'no change' mean in the context of a graph?

Back

'No change' means that the dependent variable remains constant as the independent variable changes.

Front

How can you determine the distance traveled from a graph?

Back

You can determine the distance traveled by looking at the vertical distance on the y-axis corresponding to a specific time on the x-axis.

Front

What is the total distance in a graph?

Back

The total distance is the sum of all distances represented in the graph over a specific time period.

Front

What is a key feature of a line graph?

Back

A key feature of a line graph is that it uses points connected by lines to show trends over time.

Front

What does a flat line on a graph indicate?

Back

A flat line indicates that there is no change in the dependent variable over the range of the independent variable.
