Additional Practice Questions
Plot a graph representing the hiking trail elevation over time.
easyAnswer: Choose a suitable scale for both axes with time in hours on the x-axis and elevation in meters on the y-axis. Plot points and join them to see the trail pattern.
Graph a relationship where two variables are in direct proportion.
mediumAnswer: Given a dataset where variable Y is directly proportional to X, plot the points on a graph. Expect a straight line passing through the origin, visualizing the linear relationship.
Interpret a line graph depicting monthly rainfall for a year.
easyAnswer: Examine the line graph showing monthly rainfall. Note patterns or trends, like peak rainfall months and dry periods, and interpret these patterns in context of the climate.
Analyze a graph showing the speed of a vehicle over time.
mediumAnswer: Review the graph for constant, increasing, or decreasing speed intervals, noting any stops or accelerations for a comprehensive analysis of vehicle dynamics.
Create a graph for temperature changes in a day.
easyAnswer: Plot temperature readings taken hourly. Draw and connect points to visualize daily temperature fluctuations, identifying peak and low temperatures.
