Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. Show all your work for short answer questions.
1. A car travels at a constant speed. Which type of graph best represents the relationship between distance and time?
Parabolic graph
Linear graph
Exponential graph
Circular graph
2. On a distance-time graph, what does a horizontal line segment represent?
Increasing speed
Decreasing speed
No movement
Constant speed
3. The vertical axis on a graph is typically called the .
4. The point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect is called the .
5. A cyclist travels 30 miles in 2 hours. If they continue at the same speed, how far will they travel in 5 hours? Explain how you can use a graph to find this answer.
6. Plot the following points on the coordinate plane below and connect them to form a line: (0, 2), (1, 4), (2, 6), (3, 8)
7. A steeper line on a distance-time graph indicates a slower speed.
True
False
