Real-life Graphs

Distance-Time graphs

  • A distance-time graph shows how distance changes with time

  • The shape of the graph gives you information about what’s happening

Rates of change

  • The gradient on a distance-time graphs tells you the rate of change of distance with time

  • This is also called speed

  • You can use graphs to find other rates of change

  • The graphs show how something happens with time

  • It would show multiple options and their rates with a graph and you usually have to find the graph that fits the question
