Question

this graph shows marias distance from her house as she takes a bike ride.
use the drop-down menus to complete the statements describing the graph.

during interval a, the positive, non-changing slope indicates maria is riding choose... her house at a(n) choose... speed.

she then choose... during interval b when the slope is choose....

during interval c, she is riding choose... her house.

finally, she spends interval d riding choose... her house at a(n) choose... speed, which is indicated by the negative, non-changing slope.

Explanation:

• Interval A: A positive, constant slope means distance from home increases steadily, so Maria moves away at a constant speed.
• Interval B: A zero slope means distance does not change, so Maria stops (is stationary).
• Interval C: A positive slope means distance from home increases, so Maria rides away from her house.
• Interval D: A negative, constant slope means distance from home decreases steadily, so Maria rides toward her house at a constant speed.

Answer:

During Interval A, the positive, non-changing slope indicates Maria is riding away from her house at a(n) constant speed.
She then stops during Interval B when the slope is 0.
During Interval C, she is riding away from her house.
Finally, she spends Interval D riding toward her house at a(n) constant speed, which is indicated by the negative, non-changing slope.
