Question

The distance, y, in miles, traveled by a car for a certain amount of time, x, in hours, is shown in the graph below:

Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is the last choice.

In the first segment of the trip, the car goes from 0 to 2 hours and the line is moving up. Therefore, it traveled for 2 hours.

In the second segment, the line went straight horizontal for 1 hour. That means the distance didn't change, in other words it didn't move.

In the last segment, it moved up again for 2 hours.
