Best Graph for Modeling Roller Coaster Speed Over Time

Line Graph Is Ideal

A line graph best represents a roller coaster's speed over a two‑minute ride because:

• X‑axis = Time (continuous).
• Y‑axis = Speed (continuous).
• Connecting data points reveals acceleration, deceleration, peaks, valleys.
• Easy to identify max/min speeds and rates of change.

Alternative: scatter plot with trend line, but line graph is standard for continuous time‑series data.
