Lesson 10 Qualitative Graphs Review

Front

What is a qualitative graph?

Back

A qualitative graph is a type of graph that represents relationships between variables without using numerical values, focusing instead on the general shape and trends of the data.

Front

What does a positive slope indicate in a graph?

Back

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

Front

What does a negative slope indicate in a graph?

Back

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

Front

What does a zero slope indicate in a graph?

Back

A zero slope indicates that there is no change in the dependent variable as the independent variable changes; the line is horizontal.

Front

How can you identify non-linear intervals in a graph?

Back

Non-linear intervals can be identified by looking for sections of the graph where the slope changes or the line curves, rather than being straight.

Front

What does it mean when a graph shows a flat section?

Back

A flat section in a graph indicates that the object is at rest or not changing its position over time.

Front

How can you determine the time taken for an object to travel a certain distance from a graph?

Back

You can determine the time taken by looking at the horizontal axis (time) and finding the point where the object has traveled the specified distance.

Front

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

Back

A steep slope indicates that the object is moving quickly, as it covers a large distance in a short amount of time.

Front

What is the significance of sections labeled A, B, C, etc., in a distance-time graph?

Back

Sections labeled A, B, C, etc., represent different phases of motion, such as moving, resting, or changing direction.

Front

How can you interpret a section of a graph where the line goes downward?

Back

A downward line indicates that the object is moving back towards the starting point or decreasing its distance from the reference point.
