Question

the table in the pic shows the distance covered by moving car.

• Draw the distance time graph. ​

Answer 1

Given:-

$\sf\green{Time:-}$

• 4 seconds
• 8 seconds
• 12 seconds
• 16 seconds
• 20 seconds

$\sf\green{Distance:-}$

• 5 meters
• 10 meters
• 15 meters
• 20 meters
• 25 meters

_____________________________

To draw:-

• The distance time - graph.

Answer:-

• To make a graph, represent the given data on suitable axes of the graph (the horizontal axis represents the time and the vertical axis represents distance.)

• Mention the units and the suitable scale for both the axes,

$\sf\red{For \ x-axis \ , \ let \ 1 \ cm \ = \ 4 \ seconds}$

$\sf\green{For \ y-axis \ , \ let \ 1 \ cm \ = \ 5 \ minutes}$

Some points to be kept in mind while choosing the most suitable scale for drawing the graph are :-

• Choose a scale so as to utilize the maximum part of the graph paper.

• Keep in mind the difference between the highest and lowest values of each quantity.

• Keep in mind the intermediate values of each quantity, so that the scale chosen is convenient to mark the values on the graph.

• Mark the values for time and distance on the respective axes according to the scale chosen.

• Join all the marked points (pencil dots) with a pencil extending the line to 0 second and 0 distance, i.e., point O.
