Graphing Stories

Front

What is graphing stories?

Back

Graphing stories is a method of representing real-life situations using graphs, where the x-axis typically represents time and the y-axis represents distance or speed.

What does it mean when a graph is increasing?

Back

An increasing graph indicates that the value of the variable on the y-axis is rising as the value on the x-axis increases, showing that the object is moving away from its starting point.

Front

What does it mean when a graph is decreasing?

Back

A decreasing graph indicates that the value of the variable on the y-axis is falling as the value on the x-axis increases, showing that the object is moving back towards its starting point.

Front

What does a flat line on a speed vs. time graph represent?

Back

A flat line on a speed vs. time graph represents that the object is moving at a constant speed, meaning it is neither speeding up nor slowing down.

Front

What does a steep slope on a distance vs. time graph indicate?

Back

A steep slope on a distance vs. time graph indicates that the object is moving quickly, covering a large distance in a short amount of time.

Front

What does a horizontal line on a distance vs. time graph indicate?

Back

A horizontal line on a distance vs. time graph indicates that the object is stationary, meaning it is not moving.

Front

How can you tell if an object is slowing down on a speed vs. time graph?

Back

An object is slowing down on a speed vs. time graph if the line slopes downward, indicating a decrease in speed over time.

Front

What is the significance of the x-axis in a speed vs. time graph?

Back

The x-axis in a speed vs. time graph typically represents time, allowing us to see how speed changes over a specific duration.

Front

What is the significance of the y-axis in a distance vs. time graph?

Back

The y-axis in a distance vs. time graph typically represents distance, showing how far an object has traveled over time.

Front

What does it mean if an object stops moving in a graph?

Back

If an object stops moving in a graph, it is represented by a horizontal line, indicating that the distance remains constant over time.
