Analyzing Graphs

Front

What does it mean when grams decrease at a decreasing rate?

Back

It means that the amount of grams is reducing, but the rate of reduction is slowing down over time.

Front

What does it mean when sales decrease quickly at a constant rate, and then increase slowly at a constant rate?

Back

It indicates that sales drop rapidly for a period and then rise gradually after that.

Front

Which graph represents constant speed in a distance-time graph?

Back

A distance-time graph with a straight line indicates constant speed.

Front

What does it mean when a part of the graph stays the same?

Back

It indicates that there is no change in the value being represented over that interval.

Front

How do you determine the distance traveled at a specific time from a distance-time graph?

Back

You find the point on the graph corresponding to that time and read the distance value from the y-axis.

Front

What is a distance-time graph?

Back

A graph that shows the distance an object has traveled over time.

Front

What does a steep slope on a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

A steep slope indicates a high speed of the object.

Front

What does a horizontal line on a distance-time graph represent?

Back

A horizontal line indicates that the object is at rest.

Front

How can you tell if an object is accelerating on a distance-time graph?

Back

If the slope of the graph is increasing, the object is accelerating.

Front

What does a downward slope on a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

A downward slope indicates that the object is returning to the starting point.
