Analyzing Graphs

Front

What is the x-axis in a graph?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line on a graph that typically represents the independent variable.

Front

What is the y-axis in a graph?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical line on a graph that typically represents the dependent variable.

Front

What does the term 'dependent variable' mean?

Back

The dependent variable is the variable that is measured or affected in an experiment, often plotted on the y-axis.

Front

What does the term 'independent variable' mean?

Back

The independent variable is the variable that is changed or controlled in an experiment, often plotted on the x-axis.

Front

How do you determine the highest point on a graph?

Back

The highest point on a graph is determined by identifying the maximum value of the dependent variable.

Front

What is an interval in a graph?

Back

An interval is the distance between two points on a graph, often used to describe the scale of the axes.

Front

What does a bar graph represent?

Back

A bar graph represents data with rectangular bars, where the length of each bar is proportional to the value it represents.

Front

What does a line graph show?

Back

A line graph shows data points connected by lines, illustrating trends over time.

Front

What is the purpose of a title in a graph?

Back

The title of a graph provides a clear description of what the graph represents.

Front

What is a scale in a graph?

Back

A scale is a set of numbers that represents the values on the axes of a graph.
