What is a qualitative graph?

Back

A qualitative graph is a visual representation that shows the relationship between two variables without using numerical values, focusing instead on the general trends and behaviors.

What does a rising slope on a distance-time graph represent?

Back

A rising slope indicates that the object is moving away from the starting point, increasing its distance over time.

What does a falling slope on a distance-time graph signify?

Back

A falling slope signifies that the object is moving back towards the starting point, decreasing its distance over time.
