Question

quantitative reasoning instruction
analyzing distance and time
example
______ is on the horizontal axis, measured in seconds
__________ is measured along the vertical axis, in centimeters
the orange line shows the ____________ between time and distance

Explanation:

1. For the first blank, looking at the graph, the horizontal axis is labeled "Time (seconds)", so the variable on the horizontal axis is Time.
2. The vertical axis is labeled "Distance (centimeters)", so the variable measured along the vertical axis is Distance.
3. The orange line in a distance - time graph represents the relationship (specifically, it can be a function or a relation) between time and distance. In the context of a distance - time graph, it shows how distance changes with respect to time, so the term "relationship" (or "connection", "correlation") fits here.

Answer:

• The first blank: Time
• The second blank: Distance
• The third blank: relationship
