Question

A *blank* is essentially many line segments with different *blank at each segment.
While a straight line shows *blank* rate of change, a curved line indicates that the rate of change is *blank or variable.

A curved line suggests that the object's speed is changing over time-it could be *blank (the curve gets steeper) or *blank* (the curve becomes less

steep).

The specific shape of the curve reveals whether the object is speeding up, slowing down, or changing pace in some other non-linear way.

A curve

B accelerating

C not constant

D decelerating

E slopes

F constant

Answer 1

A **curve** is essentially many line segments with different **slopes** at each segment. While a straight line shows **constant** rate of change, a curved line indicates that the rate of change is **not constant** or variable.

A curved line suggests that the object's speed is changing over time—it could be **accelerating** (the curve gets steeper) or **decelerating** (the curve becomes less steep).

The specific shape of the curve reveals whether the object is speeding up, slowing down, or changing pace in some other non-linear way.
