Using Graphs to Relate two Quantities
Standard
F.IF.4 For a function that models a relationship between two quantities, interpret key features of graphs and tables in terms of the quantities, and sketch graphs showing key features given a verbal description.
Goals for this section:
The goal for this section is to know the different types of models of graphs and sketching them.
Graphs
Graphs can be used to visually represent the relationship between two variable quantities as they both change.
Analyzing A Graph:
The way to analyze a graph is to look at the x-axis and y-axis to determine what the variables are. The variables on a graph are on the side of each axis that provides information of what we are graphing.
A graph is the most understandable way of showing the relationship of how one variable can change with respect to another variable.
Graphing Relationships:
1. Stays the same: this means it is constant
2. Rises: it is increasing
3. Drops: it is decreasing
4. Slows down: it is decreasing
