Pick the correct statement to use and then fill in the letters into the statement to accurately summarize the data from this graph. The letters may only be from one point to the other (i.e. A and B, not A. and C.)

The object travels the same distance between points ___ and ___ as it does between points ___ and ___, but it accelerates faster between ___ and ___ because the slope of the line is greater.

OR

The object travels the same distance between points ___ and ___ as it does between points ___ and ___, but it accelerates faster between ___ and ___ because the line is horizontal.

Answer 1

You will have to start with the very first statement and the very first line and check to see if it is true. You will have to take it slowly one step at a time and think like a robot unfortunately 8-/

Look here first:
The object travels the same distance between points ___ and ___ as it does between points ___ and ___,

You can rewrite the question to make better sense:
Does the object travel the same distance between ANY 2 points?

Answer 2

Not really...

Answer 3

I would guess A and B or C and D

Answer 4

look carefully...they are only asking about distance traveled...time doesn't matter...look again

Answer 5

you are simply comparing the distance between 2 separate points

Answer 6

So A and B and C and D ... Like this: The object travels the same distance between points A and B as it does between points C and D,

Answer 7

No.
For instance between A and B, it move "one block of distance"
does it move one block of distance between any other 2 points?

Answer 8

C and D

Answer 9

Or B and C

Answer 10

no...between C and D how many "blocks of distance" does it move? count them

Answer 11

4 and a half? Or 2? I am not sure :(

Answer 12

I feel so confused and tired.

Answer 13

just count the blocks going from bottom up...remember, you don't care about time right now, just distance...take a broom and sweep all the dots all the way to the left so you can see them stacked up better...use your imagination

Answer 14

It's two blocks.

Answer 15

yes
so just for right now find out the distances between each pair of dots and then go back to the question to see if it is true

Answer 16

The object travels the same distance between points ___ and ___ as it does between points ___ and ___, You can rewrite the question to make better sense: Does the object travel the same distance between ANY 2 points?

Answer 17

So far the sentence is: The object travels the same distance between points A and B as it does between points C and D.

Answer 18

Which is true.

Answer 19

Am I correct so far? @SinginDaCalc2Blues

Answer 20

no Blossom :o(
It's okay...the distance between A and B is "one block"
the distance between B and C is "two blocks"
the distance between C and D is "two blocks"
can you see that?

Answer 21

Right! I forgot. I'm sorry. :(

Answer 22

remember only up and down distance because up and down IS THE DISTANCE

Answer 23

ok so far you can enter those into both questions

Answer 24

This is the final answer!

The object travels the same distance between points B and C as it does between points C and D, but it accelerates faster between B and C because the slope of the line is greater.

Answer 25

yup! :o)
You got it!

Answer 26

it seems you have a good understanding of when something moves faster than something else as written on a graph! So that's great!
Good job! :o)

Answer 27

Yay! Thanks for your help and time. I have 4 more, do you think you can help with those too?

Answer 28

not right now sorry...when are they due?

Answer 29

Today. :(

Answer 30

Just try and use your imagination to make problems easier if you can, like stacking the dots for example...go slow...if you get tired, take an hour nap and try when you wake up...think big picture and you can do it!

Answer 31

I have a test to prepare for until Wednesday so I doubt I will be available but you can tag me and if possible, I will look. :o)
