GCSE Maths: Real-Life Graphs

Learn to interpret and use real-life graphs, focusing on distance-time graphs (for speed) and velocity-time graphs (for acceleration and distance travelled).

Lesson#1
In this deck, we'll explore real-life graphs. These are graphs that tell a story, usually about a journey. We'll focus on two important types: distance-time graphs and velocity-time graphs, and learn how to read the information they contain.
Lesson#2
Let's start with distance-time graphs. As the name suggests, they show how the distance from a starting point changes over time. The vertical axis, or y-axis, shows the distance, and the horizontal axis, or x-axis, shows the time.
Quiz#3
What does the vertical axis on a distance-time graph represent?

distance

Quiz#4
What does the horizontal axis on a distance-time graph represent?

time

Lesson#5
The shape of the line on a distance-time graph tells you about the motion. A flat, horizontal line means the distance isn't changing, so the object is stationary. A straight, sloping line means the object is moving at a constant speed. The steeper the line, the faster it's going.
Quiz#6
On a distance-time graph, what does a horizontal line mean?

stationary
