Review your results from the Freeway Fatalities problem in Chapter 1. Write a complete statement describing the relationship between the distance of the truck from home and its velocity. How can we determine the distance traveled from the velocity vs. time graph? How can we determine the velocity from the distance vs. time graph?

First quadrant, x axis labeled, time, hours, scaled from 6 to 12,  y axis labeled, speed of truck mph, scaled from 0 to 60, with continuous curves turning at approximate points as follows: starting at (6, comma 0), (6.7, comma 60), (7.3, comma 50), (8.5, comma 50), (9.2, comma 0), (10, comma 60), (10.7, comma  0), (11.5, comma 40), stopping at (12, comma 0).First quadrant linear, x axis labeled, time, hours, scaled from 8 to 4, y axis labeled, distance traveled, miles, scaled from 0 to 150, with continuous segments turning at the following points: starting at (8, comma 0), (9, comma 50), (10.5, comma 50), (11, comma 100), (11.75, comma 25), (2, comma 30), (3, comma  130), (4, comma 0).

Be sure to discuss area and slope... and how they are related in motion graphs.
