This graph shows the progress of a student riding his bike from home to the ice cream shop. Which statements are true about his journey? (2 points) Responses
A. The student rode faster at the end of his ride than at the beginning.
B. The student spent more time resting than riding his bike.
C. The student stopped for at least one rest break.
D. The student rode slower, then a bit faster, than rested at the ice cream shop.
E. The student rode faster at the beginning, rested, then a little slower pace, rested, and then a little faster pace.
Based on the provided graph, the true statements about the student's journey are:
C. The student stopped for at least one rest break.
D. The student rode slower, then a bit faster, than rested at the ice cream shop.
The graph shows periods of rest where the line flattens out, indicating that the student stopped. It also shows a decrease in speed followed by an increase before reaching the ice cream shop, indicating a period of slower riding followed by faster riding.
correct?
Yes, that is correct. The statements C and D are true based on the information provided by the graph.
To determine which statements are true about the student's journey, let's analyze the graph.
To analyze the graph, we need to understand the information it displays. It is important to look at the variables represented on the x and y axes of the graph. The x-axis represents time, and the y-axis represents the student's speed.
Now, let's evaluate each statement:
A. The student rode faster at the end of his ride than at the beginning.
To determine if this statement is true, we need to compare the speeds at the beginning and end of the journey on the graph. By examining the graph, if the line representing the student's speed is higher at the end compared to the beginning, then this statement is true.
B. The student spent more time resting than riding his bike.
To determine if this statement is true, we need to compare the duration of the rests and bike riding. We need to see if the bike riding portion of the graph is longer than the rest periods. By looking at the horizontal sections of the graph, if the rest areas are longer than the bike riding areas, then this statement is true.
C. The student stopped for at least one rest break.
To determine if this statement is true, we need to check if there are any horizontal sections on the graph. If we observe any instances where the speed is zero, it means the student stopped for a rest break.
D. The student rode slower, then a bit faster, than rested at the ice cream shop.
To determine if this statement is true, we need to observe the graph around the ice cream shop. If the speed decreases before reaching the rest point and then increases after resting, then this statement is true.
E. The student rode faster at the beginning, rested, then a little slower pace, rested, and then a little faster pace.
To determine if this statement is true, we need to evaluate the speed changes at each segment of the graph. If the speed initially increases, then decreases during rest, and finally increases again in subsequent segments, then this statement is true.
By analyzing the graph while considering these statements, we can determine which ones are true based on visual interpretation.
