Question 50.
a. Description
You walk 0.5 miles during 10 minutes, stop and wait for the bus during 4 minutes, then ride the bus for 2 miles during 4 minutes.
b. slopes
the slope of each line represents the average speed of every track.
1) first track
slope = 0.5 miles / 10 minutes = 0.05 miles / minutes.
Given that the slope is constant, you walked at a constant speed of 0.05 miles/minute.
2) second track
slope = 0 => you didn,t move (you were waiting the bus)
3) third track
slope = (2.5 - 0.5) miles / (18 min - 14 min) = 2 miles / 4 min = 0.5 miles / min
means the speed of the bus was constant and equal to 0.5 miles / min.
