Question

The graph shows the distance a cyclist traveled in yards (y) as a function of time in seconds (x). The graph is divided into four segments; labeled P, Q, R, and S, respectively.

Which segment did the cyclist complete before stopping for a drink of water?

P
Q
R
S

Answer 1

it is Q

Explanation:

Because it is stopped and its a strait line making it look like it is taking a brake.

Answer 2

P

Explanation:

The distance doesn't change during segment Q, so that is when the cyclist is stopped. The segment before that is labeled P.

The question asks the label of the segment before the one where the cyclist was stopped, so the appropriate choice is P.
