Graphing Stories

Front

What is graphing stories?

Back

Graphing stories is a method of representing real-life situations or narratives using graphs to illustrate changes in variables over time.

Front

What is a dependent variable?

Back

A dependent variable is the variable that is measured or affected in an experiment or situation, often represented on the y-axis of a graph.

Front

What is an independent variable?

Back

An independent variable is the variable that is manipulated or changed in an experiment, often represented on the x-axis of a graph.

Front

In the context of graphing, what does a slope represent?

Back

The slope of a graph represents the rate of change between the dependent and independent variables.

Front

What does a horizontal line on a graph indicate?

Back

A horizontal line indicates that the dependent variable is constant, meaning there is no change over time.

Front

What does a vertical line on a graph indicate?

Back

A vertical line indicates that the independent variable is constant, meaning it does not change.

Front

How can you determine the total distance covered from a graph?

Back

The total distance covered can be determined by calculating the area under the graph or by analyzing the changes in the dependent variable over time.

Front

What does it mean when a graph shows a decreasing slope?

Back

A decreasing slope indicates that the dependent variable is decreasing as the independent variable increases.

Front

What is the significance of points on a graph?

Back

Points on a graph represent specific values of the dependent and independent variables at a given time.

Front

What does it mean if a graph is linear?

Back

A linear graph indicates a constant rate of change between the variables, forming a straight line.
