Question

The graph shows a driver's distance from home as a function of time.

Oliver wrote this description: A driver drives away from home at a
constant rate. She then drives at a slightly slower constant rate for a
short time before gradually slowing down and stopping.
Does Oliver's story match the graph? Explain.

Answer 1

No

Explanation:

The first part of the description says the driver drove at a constant rate away from home. The graph shows us that the driver slowly increased their speed as time passed, starting slow then going really fast. Then they started driving at a constant rate, but not before going really fast for a moment then gradually stopping.
