4-1 Using Graphs to Relate Two Quantities

Front

What does it mean for a line on a graph to stay the same?

Back

It means that the value of the quantity represented by the line does not change over that interval.

Front

How can you determine if an object is slowing down on a graph?

Back

If the slope of the line is decreasing, it indicates that the object is slowing down.

Front

What does a horizontal line on a graph represent?

Back

A horizontal line indicates that the quantity is constant over time.

Front

What does an increasing slope on a graph indicate about the speed of an object?

Back

An increasing slope indicates that the speed of the object is increasing.

Front

What does a decreasing slope on a graph indicate about the speed of an object?

Back

A decreasing slope indicates that the speed of the object is decreasing.

Front

What is the significance of points A, B, C, and D on a graph?

Back

These points represent specific positions or states of the object at different times.

Front

How can you tell if an object is stationary on a graph?

Back

An object is stationary if the line on the graph is horizontal.

Front

What does it mean when a graph shows a steep slope?

Back

A steep slope indicates a high speed or rate of change.

Front

What is the relationship between time and speed on a graph?

Back

Time is typically represented on the x-axis, while speed is represented on the y-axis.

Front

How can you identify intervals of increasing speed on a graph?

Back

Intervals of increasing speed are identified by sections of the graph where the slope is rising.
