A

Recall / Warm-Up

Blank distance-time graph axes, with distance on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis
1

What does a distance-time graph show?

2

On a distance-time graph, which axis shows time?

3

Can the line on a distance-time graph go downward (distance decreasing) as time moves forward?

B

Fluency Practice

1

A point on a distance-time graph is written as (2, 50). What does this mean?

A distance-time graph showing a straight line from (0,0) to (4,80), passing through (1,20), (2,40), and (3,60)
2

Using the graph, what is the distance at 2 hours?

3

Using the same graph as the previous question (straight line from (0,0) to (4,80), passing through (1,20), (2,40), (3,60)), what is the distance at 3 hours?

4

Using the same graph (straight line from (0,0) to (4,80)), at what time does the distance reach 80 km?

5

Using the same graph (straight line from (0,0) to (4,80)), what is the speed shown by this graph, in km/hr?
