(a) What information is given on the two axes?
(b) From where and when did the car begin its journey?
(c) How far did the car go in the first hour?
(d) How far did the car go during (i) the 2nd hour? (ii) the 3rd hour?
(e) Was the speed same during the first three hours? How do you know it?
(f) Did the car stop for some duration at any place? Justify your answer.
(g) When did the car reach City Q?
Plot the following points on a graph sheet. Verify if they lie on a line:
(a) A (4, 0), B(4, 2), C(4, 6), D(4, 2.5)
(b) P(1, 1), Q(2, 2), R(3, 3), S(4, 4)
(c) K(2, 3), L(5, 3), M(5, 5), N(2, 5)
A.
A point whose x coordinate is zero and y-coordinate is non-zero will lie on the y-axis.B.
A point whose y coordinate is zero and x-coordinate is 5 will lie on y-axis.C.
The coordinates of the origin are (0, 0).We draw axes and take a suitable scale on both the axes. To draw the graph, we take the following steps:
I. Mark the number litres of petrol along the horizontal axis.
II. Mark the cost of petrol (in rupees) along the y-axis.
III. Now, we plot the given points, i.e.
(10, 500); (15, 750); (20, 1000); (25, 1250)
IV. Join the points.
We find that the graph is a straight line.
Yes, we can find the quantity of petrol to be got in Rs 800, for this take a point on the y-axis (0,800). Through A draw BC parallel to x-axis to meet the graph at B. Now from B, draw BC Perpendicular x-axis.
As C corresponds to (16, 0).
Thus, 16 litre petrol can be bought for Rs 800.
(i) How much distance did the car cover during the period 7.30 a.m. to 8 a.m.?
(ii) What was the time when the car had covered a distance of 100 km since it’s start?
