Question

Michelle jumps from a plane at an altitude of 1000 m. After 10 seconds her parachute opens. The graph shows the relationship between the distance traveled and time. How long does it take for her to be half way between the plane and the ground? (1 point)

Continuous graph with the y axis labeled Distance (m) and the x axis labeled Time, min. The function consists of 3 lines, the first is almost vertical with a positive slope connecting the points 0,0, to approximately 1 of 6, 250. From that point the second line connects to the first and passes through the points 1,500, 2,800 and 2 1 over 3, 1000. From that point the function is horizontal.

a
40 s

b
1 min

c
1 min 20 s

d
1 min 40 s

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

If you look at the graph/chart, it starts at 1,000, so half of that is 500, so you go down to 500, and go straight down to see the number of time under it (In this case, is 1 minute) so you know it is one minute
