There are 4 possible shapes to a Distance-Time graph:
|
|
|
|
| ___________ | ___________ | ___________ | ___________ |
Time is the independant variable and so is plotted on the _____ axis, Distance is the dependant variable and is plotted on the _____ axis. The gradient of a graph is the change in y divided by the change in x. So for a distance time graph the gradient equals the change of distance divided by the change in time which is _____.
This means the steeper the line (the higher the gradient) the _____ the object is travelling.
