How can you tell if a point is on a graph?
There is a dot on the graph
What does the slope of the line on a distance-time graph tell you?
velocity
What does straight line on a distance time graph tell you about the speed of an object?
It tells you that the speed of the object is not changing. The speed is represented by the slope in a distance vs. time graph, if slope doesn't change, speed doesn't.
What does a curved line on a distance versus time graph tell you?
It tells you that the velocity of the body is not constant. There is acceleration or deceleration.
How can you tell the difference graph or function?
A function describes the relationship between two or more variables. A graph is a kind of visual representation of one or more function. A line or curve seen on a graph is called the graph of a function. * * * * * For any point in the domain, a function can map to only ine point in the range or codomain. In simpler terms, it means that (for a two dimensional graph), a vertical line can intersect the graph of the function in at most one point.

What does the gradient of a line on a distance-time graph tell us about an object?
The gradient of a distance-time graph gives the object's speed.
What does the slope of the line on a distance-time graph tell you?
velocity
What can be calculated for a distance-time graph?
Here are some things that can be determined from a distance-time graph:Total distance travelled, at a particular time.Average velocity at a particular time (take the distance at that point and divide by the elapsed time).If you can determine the slope at a particular point, then you can determine instantaneous velocity.You can tell the direction that the object is travelling: away from the starting point (positive slope) or toward the starting point (negative slope).* * * * * If you can determine the second derivative of the graph, you can calculate the instantaneous acceleration as well.
What one thing does a velocity-time graph not tell you about your object that a position-time graph does?
Distance covered at a given time.
How do you tell form a distance-time graph when an object is at rest?
The graph is parallel to the time axis, normally the horizontal axis.
How can you tell by looking at a speed graph what objects speed is the faster?
The point on the graph will be higher (in the normal configuration of such graphs).
How do you tell whether a graph shows a constant or variable rate of change?
The slope of each point on the line on the graph is the rate of change at that point. If the graph is a straight line, then its slope is constant. If the graph is a curved line, then its slope changes.
What does straight line on a distance time graph tell you about the speed of an object?
It tells you that the speed of the object is not changing. The speed is represented by the slope in a distance vs. time graph, if slope doesn't change, speed doesn't.
What does a curved line on a distance vs time graph tell you?
The object is accelerating or decelerating in the radial direction.
What do the letter below the graph represent?
Well, a letter below a graph usually labels that axis, which is usually the x-axis. In a distance vs. time graph, the letter on the y-axis is usually D for distance, and the letter on the x-axis is usually T for time. That's about the best I can tell you without seeing the graph
What does the slope of a distance vs time graph tell you?
Speed. Not "velocity" unless you also quote the direction of travel.
