Which statements can be supported by using a position-time graph? Check all that apply.

A negative slope results when an individual is moving toward the origin.
A straight line on the graph means the individual is moving at the same velocity.
A positive slope results when an individual is moving away from the origin.
The slope of the line gives the velocity of the individual.
The speed of an individual cannot be determined from this type of graph

Respuesta :

A negative slope results when an individual is moving toward the origin.

This statement is correct because slope of position time graph always represents velocity and since slope is negative then it shows the velocity is towards negative direction here.

Negative direction velocity is always towards origin as it is towards negative X axis.

A straight line on the graph means the individual is moving at the same velocity.

This statement is correct because when graph is a straight line then it shows that slope of the graph will remain constant and since the slope of the graph means velocity so it means velocity will always remain constant in this case.

A positive slope results when an individual is moving away from the origin.

This statement is correct because slope of position time graph always represents velocity and since slope is positive then it shows the velocity is towards positive direction here.

Positive direction velocity is always away from origin as it is towards positive X axis.

The slope of the line gives the velocity of the individual.

This statement is correct because slope of position time graph always represents velocity.
