Question

The temperature in a city was recorded over a ten-hour period. The graph below shows the relationship between the temperature and the number of hours.

Which statement best interprets information provided by the graph?
A. The temperature in the city increased for some time and decreased for some time.
B. The temperature remained constant for a while.
C. The temperature in the city increased throughout the period.
D. The temperature in the city increased at a constant rate for the entire time.

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

From the graph, we can see that the temperature increased initially, then started to decrease. All of these NOT in a constant rate, though.

Roughly, the temperature was increasing from start till around 5.5 hours. Then on the temperature decreased.

So we can eliminate B, C, and D. That leaves us with correct answer as A.
