A jumpy squirrel is trying to cross the street. Its velocity vvv as a function of time ttt is given in the graph below where rightwards is the positive velocity direction.

A set of black coordinate axes are given with the vertical axis labeled "v (m/s)" and the horizontal axes labeled "t (s)". A curve that relates v to t is shown in blue. It begins with a straight line of endpoints (0,0) and (1,5). This first line is connected to a second line with endpoints (1,5) and (3,-5). This second line is then connected to a third line of endpoints (3,-5) and (6,-5).

What is the squirrel's displacement \Delta xΔxdelta, x from t=1\,\text st=1st, equals, 1, start text, s, end text to 2\,\text s2s2, start text, s, the answer is 2.5 I solved it
