1) On a horizontal straight line graph of distance (vertical axis) against time, which variable is not changing?
a) Distance
b) Time
c) Wind speed
d) Temperature
2) A graph of distance against time is a straight line with a slope of 1. If you wait for 3 time units to pass, how many distance units have been traveled?
a) 1
b) 2
c) 3
Take a guess, at least. You wont' learn anything by haviong us provide answers.
1. The plot is time (horizontal) against distance (vertical axis). What changes along the vertical axis? What doesnt change?
2. If the slope is 1, changes in distance equal changes in time along the line. What does that tell you?
1. b
2. b
1. a 2. b
1. B
2.B
1) The variable that is not changing on a horizontal straight line graph of distance against time is b) Time.
2) If the graph of distance against time is a straight line with a slope of 1, then for every time unit that passes, one distance unit is traveled. Since you wait for 3 time units to pass, the answer is c) 3 distance units have been traveled. Just don't go too far, you might need to find your way back!
1) On a horizontal straight line graph of distance (vertical axis) against time, the variable that is not changing is b) Time. When distance is plotted on the vertical axis and time is plotted on the horizontal axis, a horizontal straight line indicates that the distance is not changing over time.
To determine the correct answer, you can analyze the graph by observing if the points lie along a straight line parallel to the x-axis (horizontal line). If the points are evenly spaced along the line, it is an indication that the variable represented on the x-axis (in this case, time) is not changing.
2) If the graph of distance against time is a straight line with a slope of 1, it means that the distance is increasing at a constant rate with respect to time. In this case, for every 1 unit of time that passes, 1 unit of distance is being traveled.
Therefore, if you wait for 3 time units to pass, the distance traveled would be 3 units. The correct answer is c) 3.
To determine the correct answer, you can use the slope of the line, which represents the rate of change (in this case, distance per unit of time). In a linear relationship with a slope of 1, the distance change is equal to the time change. So, if 1 time unit passes, 1 distance unit is traveled. By multiplying the time units passed (3) by the slope (1), you can determine the distance traveled.
