on sunday, manuel rode his skateboard from his house to the skate park to meet up with some friends. he stayed at the park for a while practicing tricks. then, he headed home, stopping briefly to buy a bottle of water at the store. which graph could show manuels distance from the skate park over time?
Answer
# Answer:
The first graph.
# Explanation:
## Step1: Analyze going - to - park phase
At first, Manuel is at home, so his distance from the skate - park is non - zero. As he rides to the park, the distance from the skate - park decreases.
## Step2: Analyze staying - at - park phase
When he stays at the park practicing tricks, his distance from the skate - park is 0 for a period of time, so the graph is a horizontal line at \(y = 0\).
## Step3: Analyze going - home phase
When he heads home, his distance from the skate - park increases. He makes a brief stop at the store, so there is a short horizontal segment (constant distance) during his journey home, and then he continues home and the distance from the skate - park reaches its initial non - zero value again. The first graph matches this description.
