A Answer is essentially many line segments with different Answer at each segment.

Question

While a straight line shows Answer rate of change, a curved line indicates that the rate of change is Answer or variable.

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

curve

accelerating

not constant

decelerating

slopes

constant

GPT-4o mini · Answer

A **piecewise function** is essentially many line segments with different **constants** 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.
