A toy car is placed at 0 on a number line. It moves 9 cm to the left, then 4 cm to the right, and then 6 cm to the left. What is the total distance the toy car traveled?
1 cm
5 cm
11 cm
19 cm

  distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.

explanation:

the instantaneous velocity = change in position/time taken

the slope of the graph should give instantaneous velocity.

  slope of a graph = change in value of y -axis / change in values of x -axis

  comparing both the equations

    change in value of y -axis = change in position

  change in values of x -axis = time taken

so position values should be on the y axis and time values should be on the x axis.

distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.

because if the tool that you are using is not balanced it there would be false mass.
