What is the real number that corresponds to a point on a line or graph?

It is a representation where the distance from a reference point - the origin - represents the value of the number.


If A and B were on the number line will A appear?

Somewhere on the line, at a distance that is A times the unit distance from the origin.

What does the steepness of a line on a time-distance graph represent?

The steepness of the line on a distance-time graph represents the radial speed of the object. That is, the speed with which the object is moving towards or away from the origin. The steepness takes absolutely no account of the transverse speed, so you can be going around the origin in a circle at a great speed but, since your distance remains the same, the D-T graph will be flat: implying speed = 0.


What would the absolute value of a number signify?

The distance that number is from zero on a number line.


Does a horizontal line on a distance-time graph means the object is moving at a constant speed?

You cannot. A distance vs time graph only measures radial distance - that is, distance from the origin to the object. If the object is going around the origin along a circular path, the distance vs time graph will not show any change in distance.The [incorrect] answer that you are required to give is that the graph will be a horizontal line during that period. But as explained above, the horizontal graph only means the object has no movement towards or away from the origin, not that it has no movement.


How can you graph negative fractions on a number line?

Suppose f is a negative fraction. Then |f| is the absolute value of the fraction - the value disregarding the sign. The number is graphed at a distance of |f| to the left of the origin, the zero point.


Does a line on a graph become less steep when the distance increases?

No. The distance of a line on a graph will not affect how steep it is. Distance does not affect slope.


What is a proportional graph line?

It is a straight line through the origin.


Distance from origin to point?

The origin on a graph is the point (0,0).You can find the distance to a point by applying the Pythagorean theorem:Square the x coordinate and add it to the square of the y - coordinate of the point.Now take the square root of your answer.The result is the straight line distance from the origin to the point.


Why is the distance time graph a straight line for?

A straight line on a distance - time graph represents a "constant velocity".
