#7-2 Analyzing Graphs

Front

What is the purpose of analyzing graphs in mathematics?

Back

To interpret data, identify trends, and understand relationships between variables.

Front

What does a flat section on a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

The object is stationary and not moving.

Front

What does a steep slope on a distance-time graph represent?

Back

The object is moving quickly.

Front

What does a downward slope on a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

The object is returning to its starting point.

Front

In a distance-time graph, what does a horizontal line represent?

Back

The object is at rest.

Front

What can be inferred from a graph showing a gradual increase in distance over time?

Back

The object is moving away from the starting point at a constant speed.

Front

How can you determine the speed of an object from a distance-time graph?

Back

By calculating the slope of the line on the graph.

Front

What does a change in the slope of a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

A change in the speed of the object.

Front

What does section B represent in a graph showing Timmy's distance from school?

Back

Timmy is talking to a friend and not walking.

Front

What does it mean when a graph shows a return to the starting location?

Back

The object has moved back to its original position.
