Analyzing Graphs

Front

What is the total distance traveled if Xavier goes to school and back home, covering 0.7 miles each way?

Back

Total distance = 0.7 miles + 0.7 miles = 1.4 miles.

Front

What does it mean if a graph section is decreasing?

Back

It means that the value is getting smaller over time.

Front

If a person travels 6 km in 40 minutes, what is their average speed in km/h?

Back

Average speed = Distance/Time = 6 km / (40/60) h = 9 km/h.

Front

How can you determine the greatest speed from a distance-time graph?

Back

Look for the steepest slope on the graph; the steeper the slope, the greater the speed.

Front

What does an increasing section of a graph indicate?

Back

It indicates that the value is getting larger over time.

Front

If a graph shows a flat line, what does that represent?

Back

It represents no change in value over time.

Front

What is the formula to calculate distance traveled?

Back

Distance = Speed × Time.

Front

How do you interpret a graph with multiple peaks and valleys?

Back

Each peak represents a maximum point, and each valley represents a minimum point in the data.

Front

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

Back

The y-axis typically represents the distance traveled.

Front

What does a negative slope on a graph indicate?

Back

It indicates a decrease in value over time.
