Alg1A 3-4 Interpreting Real World Graphs

Front

What does the slope of a graph represent in a real-world context?

Back

The slope represents the rate of change, indicating how one variable changes in relation to another.

Front

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

Back

By looking at the vertical distance on the graph at a specific time.

Front

What does a horizontal line on a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

It indicates that the object is not moving.

Front

What does a steep slope on a distance-time graph suggest?

Back

It suggests that the object is moving quickly.

Front

What does a downward slope on a distance-time graph represent?

Back

It represents that the object is returning to the starting point.

Front

How can you find the total time taken from a distance-time graph?

Back

By identifying the time interval from the start to the end of the journey on the horizontal axis.

Front

What does a curve on a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

It indicates that the object is accelerating or decelerating.

Front

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

Back

The y-intercept represents the starting position of the object.

Front

How do you interpret a graph showing two objects' distances over time?

Back

You can compare their speeds and determine which object is faster or if they are moving together.

Front

What does it mean if two lines on a distance-time graph are parallel?

Back

It means that the two objects are moving at the same speed.
