Qualitative graphs day 1

Front

What does a flat section on a qualitative graph indicate?

Back

A flat section indicates that there is no change in the variable being measured, meaning the object is stationary.

Front

What does an increasing section on a qualitative graph represent?

Back

An increasing section represents that the variable is getting larger over time, indicating movement or growth.

Front

What does a decreasing section on a qualitative graph indicate?

Back

A decreasing section indicates that the variable is getting smaller over time, showing a decline or reduction.

Front

What is a constant interval on a qualitative graph?

Back

A constant interval is a section where the value does not change, indicating that the object is not moving.

Front

How can you identify a non-linear section on a qualitative graph?

Back

A non-linear section can be identified by a curve or a change in the rate of increase or decrease, rather than a straight line.

Front

What does it mean if a graph has multiple increasing intervals?

Back

Multiple increasing intervals indicate that there are several periods of time where the variable is increasing.

Front

What is the significance of section labels (like a, b, c) on a qualitative graph?

Back

Section labels help to identify specific parts of the graph for analysis and discussion.

Front

How can you determine if someone is stopped in traffic using a qualitative graph?

Back

You can determine if someone is stopped in traffic by looking for a flat section on the graph, indicating no change in distance over time.

Front

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

Back

A steep slope indicates a rapid change in the variable, meaning the object is moving quickly.

Front

What is the difference between linear and non-linear graphs?

Back

Linear graphs show a constant rate of change (straight line), while non-linear graphs show varying rates of change (curved line).
