Based on the analysis of the distance-time graph, here is the solution to the labeling task:
The graph plots Distance (in meters) on the Y-axis against Time (in seconds) on the X-axis. Each segment of the line represents a different state of motion.
-
Vertical Axis (Y-axis): The label "Distance (m)" indicates this axis measures distance in
Meters.
-
Horizontal Axis (X-axis): The label "Time (s)" indicates this axis measures time in
Seconds.
-
Origin (0,0): This is the point where the journey begins, so it is the
Starting point.
-
End of the Graph Line: The final point on the line, at approximately 17 seconds and 0 meters, marks the conclusion of the journey, so it is the
Ending point.
-
First Segment (Upward Slope): The straight, diagonal line from the start indicates the object is moving away from the starting point at a steady rate. This represents
Constant speed.
-
Middle Segment (Flat Line): The horizontal line shows that the distance from the starting point is not changing, meaning the object is stationary. This represents
No movement.
-
Final Segment (Downward Slope): The downward slope indicates the object is returning towards the starting point. Since the line is straight, this also represents
Constant speed, but in the opposite direction.
Therefore, the correct labels for the boxes are as follows:
- Top-left box (pointing to Y-axis):
Meters
- Bottom-left box (pointing to origin):
Starting point
- Bottom-middle box (pointing to first segment):
Constant speed
- Bottom-right box (pointing to final segment):
Constant speed
- Middle box (pointing to horizontal segment):
No movement
- Top-right box (pointing to end of graph line):
Ending point
- Right-most box (pointing to X-axis):
Seconds
(Note: The options "X-axis" and "Y-axis" are also correct for the respective axes, but since "Meters" and "Seconds" are more specific to the units being measured, they are the primary labels for those boxes.)
