- Use distance and direction (reference point)
- Use latitude and Longitude
7

What are the ways to describe motion?
A
- Speed
- Frame of reference
8
Q
How can you interpret a distance-time graph? What does the slope of the line tell you about the objects motion?
A
- time is on the x axis
- distance is on the y axis
- speed is represented by the slope of the line. The slope can tell you how fast/slow the speed is based on how steep the slope is.
