Question

wyatt is driving. the graph below represents his distance from school. which description matches what could be wyatt’s drive? graph: distance vs time, with a line starting high, decreasing, flat, then decreasing to zero options: 1. wyatt went to school, then turned around and went back home because he forgot a notebook. 2. wyatt left school and drove towards home. he stopped at the gas station to get gas. then, he continued to drive until he reached home. 3. wyatt drove to his friend’s house to pick him up, then stopped at the convenience store for a drink. wyatt drove to another friend’s house past the school, then went to school.

Explanation:

1. Analyze the graph: The y - axis is distance from school, and it starts at a non - zero value, decreases, then stays constant (stop), then decreases to zero.
2. Analyze Option 1: If he went to school first, the distance from school should start at zero, which doesn't match the graph.
3. Analyze Option 2: He starts with a non - zero distance from school (leaving school), drives towards home (distance decreases), stops at gas station (distance constant), then continues to home (distance decreases to zero). This matches the graph.
4. Analyze Option 3: The description involves going past school, which would increase distance from school at some point, but the graph only shows distance decreasing or staying constant until reaching zero, so it doesn't match.

Answer:

Wyatt left school and drove towards home. He stopped at the gas station to get gas. Then, he continued to drive until he reached home.
