9. Graph Interpretation
In bullet form, enumerate at least 5 most important facts on how to interpret the graph:
Example Guide Interpretation
What is the relationship of the quantity on the Y-axis with the quantity on the x-axis?
What does it mean by a straight-line graph? Curved line? Straight line going down? Going up?
What does it mean if the slope of the line increases? Decreases?
What does it mean by having a big area under the curve? Small area under the curve?
What is the significance of “peaks” in the graph?
What does the peak indicate? What is the importance of the x and y quantities where the peaks occurred?
What is the importance of the intersection points of the lines in the graph? What does the intersection point
indicate?
10. Paper Interpretation
