Question

luis created the graph below to show the temperature from 8:00 a.m. (8 hours after midnight) until 8:00 p.m. on this graph, 4:00 p.m. occurs at 16 hours after midnight, and 6:00 p.m. occurs at 18 hours after midnight. which statements are true about the temperatures luis recorded on the graph? select three answers. the temperature increased until 4:00 p.m. the temperature was not recorded between 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. the temperature decreased after 6:00 p.m. the temperature increased and then decreased before holding constant. the temperature increased more quickly between 12:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. than before 12:00 p.m.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze temperature trend until 4:00 p.m.

The graph shows an upward - sloping line from 8:00 a.m. (8 hours) to 4:00 p.m. (16 hours), so the temperature increased until 4:00 p.m.

Step2: Analyze temperature between 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.

The graph is horizontal from 16 hours to 18 hours, which means the temperature was constant, not that it wasn't recorded.

Step3: Analyze temperature after 6:00 p.m.

The graph slopes downward after 18 hours (6:00 p.m.), so the temperature decreased after 6:00 p.m.

Step4: Analyze overall temperature trend

The graph first slopes upward, then is horizontal (constant), and then slopes downward.

Step5: Analyze rate of temperature increase

The slope of the line is steeper between 12:00 p.m. (12 hours) and 4:00 p.m. (16 hours) compared to before 12:00 p.m., so the temperature increased more quickly between 12:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. than before 12:00 p.m.

Answer:

• The temperature increased until 4:00 p.m.
• The temperature decreased after 6:00 p.m.
• The temperature increased more quickly between 12:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. than before 12:00 p.m.
