IM Alg1.4.6 Lesson: Features of Graphs
Diego is walking home from school at a constant rate.
This graph represents function , which gives his distance from home, in kilometers, minutes since leaving the school.
Use the graph to find or estimate:
the solution to
the solution to
A toy rocket and a drone were launched at the same time.
Analyze the graphs and describe—as precisely as you can—what was happening with each object. Your descriptions should be complete and precise enough that someone who is not looking at the graph could visualize how the objects were behaving.Here are the graphs that represent the heights of two objects as a function of time since they were launched.
Height is measured in meters above the ground and time is measured in seconds since launch. 
Which parts or features of the graphs show important information about each object’s movement?
List the features or mark them on the graphs.
In a bungee jump, the height of the jumper is a function of time since the jump begins.
| Function defines the height, in meters, of a jumper above a river, seconds since leaving the platform. Here is a graph of function , followed by five expressions or equations and five graphical features. |  |
Use the graph to estimate and .
Use the graph to estimate the solutions to and .
Based on the information available, how long do you think the bungee cord is? Make an estimate and explain your reasoning.
