Qualitative graphs

What is a qualitative graph?

Back

A qualitative graph is a type of graph that represents the relationship between variables without using numerical values, focusing instead on the general trends and behaviors of the data.

Front

What does an increasing interval on a graph indicate?

Back

An increasing interval indicates that the value of the dependent variable is rising as the independent variable increases.

Front

What does a decreasing interval on a graph indicate?

Back

A decreasing interval indicates that the value of the dependent variable is falling as the independent variable increases.

Front

What is a linear graph?

Back

A linear graph is a graph that represents a linear relationship between two variables, showing a straight line when plotted.

Front

What is a nonlinear graph?

Back

A nonlinear graph represents a relationship between variables that does not form a straight line, indicating a more complex relationship.

Front

How can you identify a constant speed on a graph?

Back

Constant speed is represented by a straight horizontal line on a graph, indicating that the distance traveled is the same over equal time intervals.

Front

What does acceleration look like on a graph?

Back

Acceleration is represented by a curve that slopes upwards, indicating that the speed of the object is increasing over time.

Front

What does it mean when a graph shows a flat section?

Back

A flat section on a graph indicates that the object is not moving, meaning the dependent variable remains constant as the independent variable changes.

Front

How do you determine the total distance traveled from a graph?

Back

The total distance traveled can be determined by calculating the area under the graph line, particularly in distance-time graphs.

Front

What is the significance of the slope of a graph?

Back

The slope of a graph indicates the rate of change of the dependent variable with respect to the independent variable.
