Qualitative Graphs

Front

What is a qualitative graph?

Back

A qualitative graph represents relationships between variables without using numerical values, focusing on the shape and direction of the graph to convey information.

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

Back

A positive slope indicates that the distance is increasing over time.

Front

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

Back

A negative slope indicates that the distance is decreasing over time.

Front

What does a horizontal line on a distance-time graph represent?

Back

A horizontal line indicates that the distance is staying the same over time, meaning the object is stationary.

Front

What is the significance of intervals on a graph?

Back

Intervals on a graph represent specific time periods during which the behavior of the variable is analyzed, such as increasing, decreasing, or constant.

Front

What does it mean if a graph is nonlinear?

Back

A nonlinear graph means that the relationship between the variables does not form a straight line, indicating varying rates of change.

Front

How can you identify a constant speed on a graph?

Back

A constant speed is represented by a straight line with a positive or negative slope, indicating uniform distance covered over time.

Front

What is the difference between linear and nonlinear graphs?

Back

Linear graphs have a constant rate of change and form straight lines, while nonlinear graphs have varying rates of change and do not form straight lines.

Front

What does it mean if a graph shows increasing distance over time?

Back

It means the object is moving away from the starting point, covering more distance as time progresses.

Front

What is the importance of understanding the context of a graph?

Back

Understanding the context helps interpret the graph accurately, relating the visual data to real-world situations.
