Graphing Stories

Front

What is graphing stories?

Back

Graphing stories is a method of representing real-life situations or narratives using graphs to illustrate changes in position, speed, or other variables over time.

Front

What does a steep slope on a graph indicate?

Back

A steep slope indicates a rapid change in the variable being measured, such as a fast speed or quick increase in value.

Front

What does a flat line on a graph represent?

Back

A flat line indicates that the variable is constant over time, meaning there is no change.

Front

What does it mean when a graph shows a peak?

Back

A peak on a graph represents the highest point of a variable, indicating the maximum value reached before it starts to decrease.

Front

How can you determine the speed of an object from a graph?

Back

The speed of an object can be determined by the slope of the line on the graph; a steeper slope indicates a higher speed.

Front

What does it mean when a graph shows a downward trend?

Back

A downward trend indicates that the variable is decreasing over time, such as a decline in sales or speed.

Front

What is the significance of the x-axis in a graph?

Back

The x-axis typically represents the independent variable, often time, which is used to track changes in the dependent variable.

Front

What is the significance of the y-axis in a graph?

Back

The y-axis typically represents the dependent variable, which is affected by changes in the independent variable.

Front

What does it mean when an object stops moving on a graph?

Back

When an object stops moving, the graph will show a flat line, indicating that the position is constant over time.

Front

How can you identify acceleration on a graph?

Back

Acceleration can be identified by a curve in the graph; if the slope is increasing, the object is accelerating.
