A piecewise linear function consisting of three parts is plotted in quadrant 1 of a coordinate plane. The x-axis is labeled Time in minutes, and the y-axis is labeled Distance in miles.
Interpret the key function of the graph for the domain interval 9<t<14 . What scenario can be represented by this portion of the piecewise function?

driving a car at a constant rate for five hours
a runner resting for 5 minutes
a runner resting for 5 minutes
a cyclist taking a cool down ride at a slower constant pace
a cyclist taking a cool down ride at a slower constant pace
a runner sprinting at a constant rate starting at minute nine
The correct answer is:
a cyclist taking a cool down ride at a slower constant pace
The key function in the given domain interval represents a scenario where a cyclist is taking a cool down ride at a slower constant pace.
