Question

Chris drove his car to the movie theater. The graph below represents Chris's speed over time, from when he left his house to when he arrived at the theater. At which times did Chris most likely stop at a stoplight? A. time = 3 min, time = 10.5 min, time = 12 min B. time = 2 min, time = 11 min C. time = 0 min, time = 21 min D. time = 1.5 min, time = 6 min, time = 14 min

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

Stopping at a stoplight means that Chris's speed would be zero on the graph. The times that his speed is zero are times t = 0, t = 2 min, t = 11 min, and t = 21 min. Because the graph shows his speed from the time he left his house (at t = 0) to the time he arrived at the theater (at t = 21 min), the most likely times he stopped at stoplights are times t = 2 min and t = 11 min.
