Interpreting position vs time graphs Still pretty basic stuff
One one index card draw a solid line SOLID On another, draw a dashed line DASHED
You will be asked a series of questions pertaining to a graph. On each graph, their will be two lines, a solid line and a dashed line At the top of the graph is a statement. Raise your hand with the card indicating if it is the solid line or dashed the statement is referring about.
