1. I. Graphing Motion A.Can be shown on a line graph a.Plot distance against time b.Time: horizontal axis, x-axis (across) c.Distance: vertical axis, y-axis (up and down)

2. I. Graphing Motion B.) A point on the graph represents the location of an object at a particular time.

3. II. Slope of a line A.The steepness or slant of a line on a graph. B.Tells how fast one variable changes in relation to the other variable. (rate of change)

4. II. Slope of a line C.) Since speed is the rate of change of distance in relation to time, the slope of a distance- time graph represents speed.

5. II. Slope of a line D.) The faster the motion, the steeper the slope E.) A constant slope represents motion at a constant speed.

6. III. Calculating slope A.The slope of a line is its rise divided by its run. B.Rise is the vertical difference between 2 points

7. III. Calculating slope C.) Run is the horizontal difference between 2 points. D.) Slope = rise / run
