Mathematics for IGCSE & O level - Graphs In Practical Situations (Section 6 - No. 12)
Which of the following statements accurately describes the relationship between the gradient and the speed on a distance-time graph?
The steeper the gradient, the slower the speed.
The shallower the gradient, the faster the speed.
The gradient represents the total distance traveled.
The gradient is directly proportional to the speed.
Forklaring
The gradient represents the rate of change of distance, and is directly proportional to speed.
