Exercises: Reading, Plotting and Interpreting Distance-Time Graphs

Use a data table and a graph together where given. Always calculate speed using the change in distance over the change in time for a section, not just the section's endpoint values.

Fluency Practice

Using the same graph (rising to 20 km by hour 2, flat until hour 3, then rising to 35 km by hour 4), what happened between 2 and 3 hours?

The cyclist rested — the graph is flat, so distance stayed at 20 km.

The cyclist travelled fastest during this section, since it looks different from the rest of the graph.

The cyclist travelled backward.
