Intervals of increasing/decreasing

Front

What does a 0 slope indicate in the context of a distance vs. time graph?

Back

A 0 slope indicates that the object is not moving; in this context, it means Oliver is taking a break from hiking.

Front

What does a positive slope indicate in the context of a distance vs. time graph?

Back

A positive slope indicates that the object is moving away from the starting point; in this context, it means Oliver is hiking up the mountain.

Front

How can you determine the number of high tides from a depth vs. time graph?

Back

Count the number of peaks in the graph; each peak represents a high tide.

Front

What does an increasing segment in a graph indicate about the situation being represented?

Back

An increasing segment indicates that the quantity being measured is growing; for example, attendance at a park is increasing.

Front

What does a decreasing segment in a graph indicate about the situation being represented?

Back

A decreasing segment indicates that the quantity being measured is declining; for example, attendance at a park is decreasing.

Front

What is the significance of the slope in a distance vs. time graph?

Back

The slope represents the rate of change of distance with respect to time, indicating how fast the object is moving.

Front

What does it mean if the slope of a graph is negative?

Back

A negative slope indicates that the object is moving back towards the starting point or decreasing in the measured quantity.

Front

How can you identify the peak attendance on a graph?

Back

The peak attendance is identified at the highest point on the graph, where the attendance value is maximum.

Front

What is the relationship between the steepness of a slope and the speed of movement?

Back

A steeper slope indicates a faster rate of change, meaning the object is moving more quickly.

Front

What does a flat segment on a graph indicate about the object's motion?

Back

A flat segment indicates that the object is stationary or not changing in the measured quantity.
