Line graphs are used to show how a quantity changes continuously. Very often the quantity is measured as time changes. If the line goes up, the quantity is increasing; if the line goes down, the quantity is decreasing; if the line is horizontal, the quantity is not changing. To measure the height of a point on the graph, use your note board as a straight edge.

Q. The ratio of productivity in 2007 to productivity in 1980 was about (a)1 : 4 (b)1 : 3 (c)3 : 1 (d)4 : 1 In 2007 productivity had an index number of 400, and the index numbers are based on 1980 = 100. So the ratio is 400 : 100 = 4 : 1. Therefore, the answer is (d). Directions: The graph given here shows a car following the linear path with uniform

speed. Study the graph and answer the questions.

Solution

1. (b) The car covers 6 km in 1 hour.

.. . Speed = 6 kmph

2. (b) Speed = 6 kmphm/min.

= 100 m/min

3. (a) Required distance = Speed × Time

= 6 × 4.5

= 27 km
