How can you identify an increasing section on a graph?

Back

An increasing section is identified by a slope that rises as you move from left to right.

Front

How can you identify a decreasing section on a graph?

Back

A decreasing section is identified by a slope that falls as you move from left to right.

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

Back

The x-axis typically represents the independent variable or the input values.

Front

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

Back

The y-axis typically represents the dependent variable or the output values.

Front

What is the total distance if a graph shows a travel distance of 0.7 miles?

Back

The total distance is 0.7 miles.

Front

What does a steep slope on a graph indicate?

Back
