I WILL AWARD BRAINLIEST!! PLEASE HELP!!! The figure below shows the movement of a pedestrian from point B to point E. Using the

graph, answer the following questions:
A) What is the speed of the pedestrian BC, CD, and DE?

B) After what time since the stop did he arrive at point E?


C) Write the formulas for function d(t) for sections BC, CD, and DE

A) The speed of the pedestrian BC is 5 km/h

    The speed of the pedestrian CD is 0 km/h

    The speed of the pedestrian DE is 5 km/h

B) He arrived E since the stop after 6 hours

C) The formula for section BC is d(t) = 40 - 5t

    The formula for section CD is d(t) = 20

    The formula for section DE is d(t) = 50 - 5t

Step-by-step explanation:

A)

In the time-distance graph the speed is the rate of change of distance

and that mean speed = Δd/Δt ⇒ (slope of the line)

In line BC:

1. Δd = 40 - 20 = 20 km

2. Δt = 4 - 0 = 4 hours

3. The speed = 20 ÷ 4 = 5 km/h

The speed of the pedestrian BC is 5 km/h

In line CD:

1. Δd = 20 - 20 = 0 km

2. Δt = 6 - 4 = 2 hours

3. The speed = 0 ÷ 2 = 0 km/h

The speed of the pedestrian CD is 0 km/h

In line DE:

1. Δd = 20 - 0 = 20 km

2. Δt = 10 - 6 = 4 hours

3. The speed = 20 ÷ 4 = 5 km/h

The speed of the pedestrian DE is 5 km/h

B)

∵ He stop at t = 4 hours

∵ He arrived at point E at t = 10 hours

∵ 10 - 4 = 6 hours

He arrived E since the stop after 6 hours

C)

The speeds are represented by lines

The form of the equation of a line is f(x) = mx + c, where m represents

the slope of the line and c is the y-intercept (y when x = 0)

1. f(x) is d(t)

2. m is the speed

3. x is t

4. You can find c by substitute d and t by any point on the line

Line BC

Line BC has negative slope because d decreases when t increases

∵ m = -5 and c = 40

∴ d(t) = 40 - 5t

The formula for section BC is d(t) = 40 - 5t

Line CD

Line CD is a horizontal line (equation any horizontal line is y = c)

∴ m = 0 and c = 20

∴ d(t) = 20

The formula for section CD is d(t) = 20

Line DE

Line DE has negative slope because d decreases when t increases

∵ m = -5

∴ d(t) = -5t + c

To find c substitute the coordinates of point D in the equation

∵ The coordinates of point D are (6 , 20)

∴ 20 = -5(6) + c

∴ 20 = -30 + c

Add 30 to both sides

∴ c = 50

∴ d(t) = 50 - 5t

The formula for section DE is d(t) = 50 - 5t
