Q7. - Algebra 1

Question

Describe what is happening in each graph

The graph represents the distance the track team runs during a practice

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The Independent variable is the Time

The dependent variable is Distance

Step 1. Given Graph.

Step 2. Explanation.

Consider the given graph.

Here time is the independent variable. Distance is a dependent variable depending on time.

As time increases the distance increases until the graph becomes a horizontal line.

Now, as time increases the distance remains constant. At this time the track team stopped.

After that, they continued to track.

Step 3. Real-life scenario.

As in real the person will get tired after tracking or walking some distance. Therefore, the graph will become a horizontal line parallel to the x-axis after some time.
