How do you determine the total distance traveled on a story graph?

Back

The total distance traveled can be determined by analyzing the vertical changes in the graph over the time intervals.

What is the significance of the slope in a story graph?

Back

The slope of a line in a story graph indicates the rate of change between the two variables, showing how quickly one variable changes in relation to the other.

How do you read a story graph?

Back

To read a story graph, start by identifying the axes, then follow the line to see how the dependent variable changes with the independent variable.
