Answer:

<h3>Part A</h3>

The graph is non-linear as it is not a continuous straight line (with only one slope).

<h3>Part B</h3>

<u>Increasing</u>:  the y-value increases as the x-value increases

<u>Constant</u>:  the y-value stays the same as the x-value changes

<u>Decreasing</u>:  the y-value decreases as the x-value increases

Therefore,

  • Increasing segment:  Between 0 and 2 seconds
  • Constant segment: Between 2 and 3 seconds
  • Decreasing segment: Between 3 and 5 seconds

<h3>Part C</h3>

For the first 2 seconds, the ant moves 6 cm from a hole in the tree at a steady speed of 3 cm per second. For the next second, the ant is at rest then turns around. For the next 2 seconds, the ant moves 6 cm back to the hole at a steady speed of 3 cm per second.  The ant then stops.

Rearrange 3x - 6y = -2 to the form y=mx + c
wel

3x - 6y = -2

-6y = -3x - 2, divide through by -1

6y = 3x + 2, divide through by 6

y = 3x/6 + 2/6

y = x/2 + 1/3
