Conversion Graphs

  • A conversion graph is a straight-line graph relating two quantities (e.g., currency, temperature).
  • To convert from one quantity to the other, read across from the given value to the graph line, then read down/up to the other axis.
  • The gradient of a conversion graph represents the rate of change (e.g., cost per kilometre).
  • If the graph starts at the origin, you can use proportion to find values not on the axes.
  • If the graph does not start at the origin, the y-intercept often represents a fixed cost (e.g., callout fee).
  • Always check the scales on both axes carefully before reading values.

Distance-Time Graphs

  • A distance-time graph shows distance travelled (vertical axis) against time (horizontal axis).
  • The gradient of the graph equals the speed (speed = distance ÷ time).
  • A steeper line means a faster speed; a horizontal line means the object is stationary (rest).
  • A line with positive gradient indicates moving away from the start; negative gradient indicates moving back towards the start.
  • The overall average speed for a journey = total distance travelled ÷ total time (including rests).
  • To find the distance at a given time, draw a vertical line to the graph then horizontal to the distance axis.

Speed-Time Graphs

  • A speed-time graph shows speed (vertical axis) against time (horizontal axis).
  • A horizontal line means constant speed (if speed = 0, the object is at rest).
  • A line with positive gradient means acceleration (speeding up); negative gradient means deceleration (slowing down).
  • The area under a speed-time graph represents the distance travelled (not required at Core level but useful).
  • Always check the vertical axis label to distinguish speed-time from distance-time graphs.

Interpreting Travel Graphs

  • A travel graph is a distance-time graph showing a journey with possible stops.
  • A horizontal section indicates a stop (rest) – read the time duration from the time axis.
  • To find the distance of a stop from home, read the distance at the horizontal section.
  • To find arrival time, read the time at the final distance point.
  • To complete a travel graph, add horizontal lines for stops and straight lines for travel at constant speed.

Calculating Speed from Graphs

  • Speed = gradient = (change in distance) ÷ (change in time).
  • Use a straight section of the graph to calculate speed (rise over run).
  • If the graph has multiple sections, calculate speed separately for each.
  • For a return journey, the gradient is negative but the speed is the absolute value of the gradient.
  • Example: A line from (1:45, 2 km) to (2:45, 8 km) has gradient (8-2)/(1) = 6 km/h.

Using Conversion Graphs with Fixed Charges

  • Some conversion graphs do not pass through the origin – the y-intercept is a fixed charge (e.g., callout fee).
  • To find the fixed charge, read the value on the y-axis when x = 0.
  • The gradient then represents the cost per unit (e.g., per hour or per km).
  • To find the equation of the line: c = gradient × d + fixed charge.
  • Example: A plumber charges £45 callout plus £60 per hour → c = 60t + 45.

Comparing Two Linear Graphs

  • When comparing two services (e.g., taxis), plot both lines on the same axes.
  • The point of intersection shows where the costs are equal.
  • For distances less than the intersection, the cheaper service is the one with the lower y-intercept.
  • For distances greater than the intersection, the cheaper service is the one with the lower gradient.
  • Always state which is cheaper for a given distance using the graph.

Completing Travel Graphs

  • To complete a travel graph, first add any stops as horizontal lines for the correct duration.
  • For travel at constant speed, draw a straight line from the end of the stop to the destination at the correct time.
  • The gradient of the return line should match the speed given (use rise/run to check).
  • Ensure the graph is continuous and labelled with time and distance as required.
