Question

sidney and her teammates are warming up for their softball game. they throw a ball back and forth several times, catching it in their softball mitts and only pausing a moment before tossing it back. after a few tosses, they stop to listen to their coach.
which graph could show the height of the softball over time?

Explanation:

1. When thrown, the softball's height rises to a peak, then falls as it travels to the other person.
2. When caught, the ball is held for a moment, so its height stays constant (flat line) briefly before being thrown back.
3. After several throws, they stop, so the final height becomes constant (flat line) when they stop moving the ball.
4. The bottom-left graph matches this: it has rising/falling curves for throws, small flat segments for the brief pause when catching, and ends with a flat line when they stop to listen to the coach.

Answer:

The graph in the bottom-left corner (third graph, with peaks, small flat dips, and a final flat horizontal line)
