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:

It travels for 1 h, then stops for 1 h, and finally travels again for 3 h.  

Step-by-step explanation:

The sloped parts of the graph are where the car is moving.

For example, in the first hour the distance travelled changes from zero to 12 mi.

The horizontal part of the graph is where the car is stopped.

For example, between hours 1 and 2, the distance travelled stays the same at 12 mi.

The car travels for 1 h, then stops for 1 h, and finally travels again for 3 h.
