Answer the following questions about position-time graphs:
What is the independent variable and on which axis does it belong?
What is the dependent variable and on which axis does it belong?
What does a horizontal line (no slope) represent on a position-time graph?
What does a straight line going up or down (constant slope) represent on a position-time graph?
What does a curved line (slope is not constant) represent on a position-time graph?
Look at the graph on page 8. What is Peter doing between minutes 10 and 30?
When is Peter going away from home?
When is Peter going back home?
Based on the steepness of the slope, is Peter moving faster when he is going away from or toward home?

1. The independent variable is time, and it belongs on the x-axis.
2. The dependent variable is position, and it belongs on the y-axis.
3. A horizontal line represents a constant position (no movement).
4. A straight line going up or down represents constant speed in either direction.
5. A curved line represents changing speed (acceleration or deceleration).
6. Peter is moving away from home between minutes 10 and 30.
7. Peter is going away from home when the graph slopes upward.
8. Peter is going back home when the graph slopes downward.
9. Peter is moving faster when going away from home based on the steepness of the slope.
