Graphing Practice

This graph shows the amount of gas, in ounces, in a lawn mower gas tank, modeled as a function of time.

• The maximum amount of gas in the gas tank was 60 ounces.

• The amount of gas in the gas tank is at a maximum at 0 minutes.

• The gas tank will be empty after 60 minutes.

Jared measured the total height of the water in a bucket at different times during a rainfall. He displays his data using the graph shown. Select ALL the conclusions that Jared can correctly make using the graph.

• The height of the water in the bucket increases 1/2 inch every minute.

• The height of the water in the bucket increases at a rate of 3 inches per hour.

• In the first 20 minutes, the height of the water increases by 2 inches.

• It takes 60 minutes for the height of the water to increase by 4 inches.

• There is already 1 inch of water in the bucket when Jared places it outside.

This graph shows the temperature in the lab for an entire experiment. (Determine which statement(s) is/are true.)

• The temperature reached its highest point during the experiment at Hour 12.

• The temperature was at its lowest when the experiment began.

• The temperature was decreasing for more hours than it was increasing during the experiment.

• The temperature at the end of the experiment was equal to the temperature at the beginning of the experiment.

This table shows the relationship between the bird population in a habitat and the time, in years, since a researcher began tracking the bird population. (Determine which statement(s) is/are true.)

• The bird population increased the same amount each year.

• The bird population is always increasing.

• The greatest increase in the bird population occurred between year 2 and year 3.

The data table below shows that as the pressure of a gas sample was changed, the volume of the gas changed. The pressure was measured in atmospheres (atm) and the volume was measured in milliliters (mL).

According to the data table, as the pressure of the gas increases, the volume of the gas:

• decreases

• increases

• remains the same

The graph below shows tidal changes at an ocean beach over a 24-hour time period.

What is the approximate time interval between the two high tides?

• 6 hours

• 9 hours

• 13 hours

• 24 hours

What is the main purpose of a line graph?

• to compare two things

• To show change over time

• to have an independent variable

• so you don't have to read words
