The y-axis represents the distance hiked by Terrell on each day.

Front

What is the approximate time interval between two high tides based on tidal graphs?

Back

The approximate time interval between two high tides is about 13 hours.

Front

What is an independent variable in a graph?

Back

The independent variable is the variable that is manipulated or changed in an experiment, typically plotted on the x-axis.

Front

How do you identify the dependent variable from a graph?

Back

The dependent variable is identified as the one that changes in response to the independent variable, usually found on the y-axis.

Front

What type of data can be represented in a line graph?

Back

Line graphs are used to represent continuous data over time or other continuous variables.

Front

What is the significance of the x-axis in a graph?

Back

The x-axis typically represents the independent variable in a graph.

Front

How can you determine which graph correctly represents a set of data?

Back

You can determine the correct graph by comparing the data points and trends in the graph to the actual data.

Front

What does a line graph indicate about trends in data?

Back

A line graph indicates trends by showing how one variable changes in relation to another over time.
