TOPIC: LINEAR GRAPHS IN TWO VARIABLES, USING GRAPH TO SOLVE REAL LIFE SITUATIONS

CONTENT

• Continuous graphs
• Graph of real life situations
• Choosing scales.

Continuous Graph: Graphs are used to show the relationship between two quantities. A continuous graph is in the form of a continuous line and shows the relationship between the two quantities .

Worked Examples

1. A student walked along a road at a speed of 120m per minute.

Make a table of values showing how far the students has walked after 0,1,2,3,4,5, minutes

1. using the scale of 1cm to 1min on the horizontal axis and 1cm to 100m on the vertical axis, draw a graph of the information .
2. x. use the graph to find:
