Back

A positive slope indicates that as one variable increases, the other variable also increases.

Front

What does a negative slope on a graph indicate?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as one variable increases, the other variable decreases.

Front

What does a zero slope on a graph indicate?

Back

A zero slope indicates that there is no change in the value of one variable as the other variable changes.

Front

How can you determine the fastest speed on a distance-time graph?

Back

The fastest speed is indicated by the steepest slope on the graph.

Front

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

Back

A flat section represents a period where the object is not moving.

Front

In a distance-time graph, what does a steep slope represent?

Back

A steep slope represents a high speed or fast movement.

Front

What does it mean if a graph shows a downward slope?

Back

A downward slope indicates that the object is moving back towards the starting point.

Front

How can you identify when someone is stationary on a graph?

Back

A stationary person is represented by a horizontal line on the graph.

Front

What does the area under a speed-time graph represent?

Back

The area under a speed-time graph represents the distance traveled.

Front

What is the significance of sections labeled A, B, C, etc., on a graph?

Back

Sections labeled A, B, C, etc., help to identify different phases of movement or activity.
