Analyzing Graphs/Stories Test (online version)

A graph visually represents data and relationships, illustrating how one variable changes in relation to another, often depicting movement or changes over time.

The origin is the point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect, typically represented as (0,0). It serves as the starting point for graphing data.

A positive slope indicates that as one variable increases, the other variable also increases, showing a direct relationship.

A negative slope indicates that as one variable increases, the other variable decreases, showing an inverse relationship.

An interval is a range of values on the x-axis or y-axis that represents a specific segment of data.

The x-axis typically represents the independent variable, which is the variable that is manipulated or changed.

The y-axis typically represents the dependent variable, which is the variable that is measured or observed.

The total distance traveled can be determined by calculating the area under the graph or by analyzing the changes in position over time.

A flat line indicates that there is no change in distance over time, meaning the object is stationary.

A variable is any factor, trait, or condition that can exist in differing amounts or types, often represented on a graph.
