Qualitative Graphs

Front

What is a qualitative graph?

Back

A qualitative graph is a visual representation that shows the relationship between two variables without using numerical values, focusing on the general shape and trends of the data.

Front

What does a flat section on a speed graph indicate?

Back

A flat section on a speed graph indicates that the object is not moving, meaning its speed is zero.

Front

What does a steep slope on a distance graph represent?

Back

A steep slope on a distance graph represents a high speed, indicating that the object is moving quickly.

Front

What is a decreasing interval on a graph?

Back

A decreasing interval on a graph is a section where the value of the dependent variable is getting smaller as the independent variable increases.

Front

What does a linear section on a graph indicate?

Back

A linear section on a graph indicates a constant rate of change, meaning the relationship between the variables is proportional.

Front

How can you identify constant speed on a graph?

Back

Constant speed on a graph is identified by a straight, diagonal line, indicating that the distance changes at a steady rate over time.

Front

What does a curve on a speed graph suggest?

Back

A curve on a speed graph suggests that the speed is changing, either increasing or decreasing, rather than remaining constant.

Front

What is the significance of intervals on a graph?

Back

Intervals on a graph help to identify different behaviors or phases of the object being represented, such as speeding up, slowing down, or remaining stationary.

Front

How do you determine the number of decreasing intervals on a graph?

Back

To determine the number of decreasing intervals, look for sections where the graph slopes downward as you move from left to right.

Front

What does it mean if a graph has multiple linear sections?

Back

If a graph has multiple linear sections, it indicates that the object experienced different phases of constant speed at different times.
