Question

Which scenario could be represented by the given graph?

A.) Lian ran up some stairs without stopping.
B.) Noya rode her bike home from school.
C.) Rin drove a steady speed to his grandparents house three hours away.
D.) Ella drove to Bianka’s house to pick her up and they both went to Yunas House.

Answer 1

The correct answer to this question is D.

Answer 2

Choice D

Explanation:

The distance increases at a steady rate from time = 0 to time = 1.

Then no progress is made between time = 1 and time = 2.

Then the distance increases at the same steady rate from time =2 to time = 3.

Finally, no progress is made between time = 3 and the end of the graph.

Eliminate Choices A, B and C immediately, because none of these scenarios involves a stop and wait.

That leaves only Choice D as a reasonable verbal description of what's happening here.
