Paisley is playing with a yo-yo. The following graph traces the path of the yo-yo while it is in the air, where y is the height of the yo-yo above the

ground, and x is the time, in seconds, from when the yo-yo leaves Paisley's hand Five stages of the yo-yo's path are marked on the graph.
Which of the five stages shows the slowest rate of change in the yo-yo's height above the ground?
А
В
C
D​

Answer:

C

Explanation:

From the graph we can notice that the yo-yo crosses five positions: A,B,C,D and E.

The path created by the yo-yo has a parabolic form.

● In the area C, the yoyo crosses the vertex in wich the rate of change equals 0.

●In A the parabola decreases dramatically

● In B, the parabola is decreasing but slower than A.

● In D, the parabola is increasing in a fast way

● In E, the parabola is increasing faster than D.

● In the first half of C, the parabola is decreasing slower than B and A.

● At the vertex, the parabola has a null rate of change.

● In the second half of C, the parabola is increasing but slower than D and E.

So we deduce that C has the slowest rate of change.
