D) the distance away from home a man travels as he leaves the house walking and then returns home

Answer 1

Answer:

Option C is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given,

A graph where the function first increases and then decreases to touch the x-axis and the increases.

It is required to find the corresponding situations.

So, from the options we have that,

The graph represents the speed of a vehicle which first increases (as it accelerates), then decreases (slows down) and then touch the x-axis (stops at the light) and then increases (accelerates on the ramp for a freeway).

Hence, option C is scenario that the graph describes.
