Graphing Distance – Time Slotted Notes _________-________ Graphs can be used to determine the average speed of an object. PAY VERY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE SHAPES/ANGLES OF THE PARTS OF THE GRAPH!!! THIS IS ON THE TEST!!!! We can determine the speed of the car by determining the ratio of the ____________ (y value) to the ____________(x value). _________ = m = ∆y = rise ∆x run As the ________ (or steepness) of a line increases, its speed _______________! A __________________line on a distance versus time graph means a speed of zero. The slope of a horizontal line is also____________!
