What does a flat section on a qualitative graph indicate?

Back

A flat section indicates that there is no change in the variable being measured, meaning the subject is stationary or not progressing.

What does an increasing slope on a qualitative graph represent?

Back

An increasing slope represents a rise in the variable being measured, indicating that the subject is moving away from the starting point or gaining distance.

What does a decreasing slope on a qualitative graph represent?

Back

A decreasing slope represents a decline in the variable being measured, indicating that the subject is moving back towards the starting point or losing distance.

How can you identify when a subject is stationary on a qualitative graph?

Back

A subject is stationary when the graph shows a flat line, indicating no change in distance over time.

What does a nonlinear section on a qualitative graph indicate?

Back

A nonlinear section indicates that the rate of change is not constant, meaning the subject's speed is varying.

What is the significance of intervals in qualitative graphs?

Back

Intervals in qualitative graphs represent distinct phases of movement or behavior, helping to analyze changes over time.
