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

Question

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.
