5.1

During Section 5-1, Relating Graphs to Events, we learned how to draw graphs for events in real life. When drawing a graph, it must include a y-axis, x- axis, and a title. Here is a link showing how to draw a graph for an event. [|Relating Graphs to Events example]

Drawing graphs can be used in real life events, such as this one: John ran 2 miles in 15 minutes and then he jogged 3 miles in 40 minutes. Draw the graph for his workout. The y-axis would be showing velocity, while the x-axis would be showing time.

Here is an example of what it would like like as a graph.

Here is another example of a graphed event.



Here is a practice problem. David ran 4 miles in 30 minutes. Then he jogged 2 miles in 20 minutes. Draw and correctly label a graph for his workout.
