Answer:

There are 3 intervals where Ann is driving a consistent speed

  • Between 1 and 4 minutes,
  • Between 6 and 8 minutes
  • Between 9 and 11.5 minutes

==========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

When she drives a consistent speed, this means her speed is the same.

This happens exactly when there are flat portions of the graph. This is because the speed y is not going up or down during these intervals.

The intervals where the graph is flat are mentioned at the top in the answer portion.

Any time the graph goes uphill, from left to right, Ann is increasing her speed. So she is accelerating.

In contrast, any time the graph goes downhill, she is decreasing her speed (or decelerating).

Side note: I'm not including the portion from roughly 4 to 5 minutes because during that time, she is stopped and the car isn't moving.
