Question

Can you guys help to understand this graph I'm so confused why I getting wrong?

Answer 1

Thanks for the question!

A would be walking away from home because the distance is going down.

B would be not walking because the distance is staying constant.

C would be walking slowly because the slope is small.

D would be walking quickly because the slope is large.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

The one fact that needs to be mentioned but isn't given anywhere on or around the graph is: The distance, on the vertical axis, is the distance FROM home. So any point on the graph where the distance is zero ... the point is in the x-axis ... is a point AT home.

Segment D ...
Walking AWAY from home; distance increases as time increases.

Segment B ...
Not walking; distance doesn't change as time increases.

Segment C ...
Walking away from home, but slower than before; distance increases as time increases, but not as fast. Slope is less than segment-D.

Segment A ...
Going home; distance is DEcreasing as time increases. Walking pretty fast ... the slope of the line is steep.
