Question

on saturday afternoon, mia walked to the park to play basketball with her friends. after playing basketball for a while, she realized she was going to be late for dinner! she then ran home. which graph could show mias distance from home over time?

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze Mia's movement

Mia walks to the park (distance from home increases), plays basketball (distance stays constant), then runs home (distance decreases to 0).

Step2: Evaluate first graph

First graph: Increases (walking to park), constant (playing), then decreases to 0 (running home) – matches.

Step3: Evaluate second graph

Second graph: Increases, constant, then increases – doesn't match (should decrease to home).

Answer:

The first graph (the one with the yellow line that rises, stays flat, then falls to the x - axis)
