Conversion Graphs Flashcards

A graph used to convert between two different units, such as miles and kilometres.

The horizontal axis (x-axis) and vertical axis (y-axis) represent the two units being converted.

Indicates a proportional relationship between the two units.

To convert a value, locate it on one axis, draw a line to the graph, and then read the corresponding value on the other axis.

Each point represents an equivalent value in the two units being converted.

Represents the rate of conversion between the two units (e.g., how many kilometres equal one mile).

A graph converting miles to kilometres, where 1 mile equals approximately 1.6 kilometres.

Use the graph to locate the known value on one axis and read the corresponding value on the other axis.

Extending the graph beyond the given data to estimate values outside the range.

Used for tasks like converting currencies, distances, weights, or temperatures.
