Graph in which the data are represented by points connected by one or more lines.

• Distance-Time Graph

• Line Graph

• X-axis

• Y-axis

X-axis

• The horizontal line with labels on a coordinate grid. Time is represented on this axis

• The vertical line with labels on a coordinate grid. Distance is represented on this axis

• Calculated by dividing the total distance an object traveled by the time it took to travel the distance.

• A push or a pull that can change the motion of an object measured in newtons.
