Unit 5: Analytic Geometry

Lesson 1: Models of Movement

Learning Goal

I can determine the rate of change of segments of a time-distance graph.



Determine the rate of change (speed) for each segment of the graph.

Mrs. Gonzalez-Day runs each day as part of her daily exercise. The graph shows her distance from home as she runs her route.



Can you write a story that describes this graph?



During which time segment did Mrs. Gonzalez-Day run the fastest?



How long did it take Mrs. Gonzalez-Day to complete her run?

At 11 o’clock, Billy’s mother sends him to the corner store for milk and tells him to be back in 30 minutes. Examine the graph.


Lesson 1: Models of Movement1.Why are some line segments on the graph

steeper than others?

2.Calculate the rate of change (speed) of each of the line segments:

Rate of change AB =

Rate of change BC =

Rate of change CD =

Rate of change DE =

Rate of change EF =

Rate of change FG =


Lesson 1: Models of Movement3.Over what interval(s) of time is Billy travelling the

fastest? the slowest? (Compare steepness, not direction.)

4.How long did it take Billy to reach the store? How do you know?

5.How long did Billy stay at the store?



6. How long did it take Billy to get home from the store?

7.How can you use the graph to tell which direction Billy is travelling?



8. Did Billy make it home in 30 minutes? How do you know?

9. Using the information the graph provides, write a story that describes Billy’s trip to the store and back.
