Graphing in Two Dimensions

1. Speed Time Graphing in Two Dimensions

2. Two Dimensional Graphs Two dimensional graphs show the relationship between two variables. For example, a graph could show a person’s distance from an object as he moves around during a specified period of time. Can you think of any other relationships that could be graphed? The next few slides give examples to illustrate what these graphs look like.
