On the way to the mall Miguel rides his skateboard to get to the bus stop. He then waits a few minutes for the bus to come, then rides the bus to the mall. He gets off the bus when it stops at the mall and walks across the parking lot to the closest entrance. Which graph correctly models his travel time and distance?
Answer
A
Image with description On a first quadrant graph, the horizontal axis is labeled time and the vertical axis is labeled speed. From left to right, the graph begins at the origin and moves to a point that is 2 ninths of the way across the horizontal axis and 1 ninth of the way up the vertical axis, moves to a point that is 4 ninths of the way across the horizontal axis and 1 ninth of the way up the vertical axis, moves to a point that is 5 ninths of the way across the horizontal axis and 4 ninths of the way up the vertical axis, moves to a point that is 6 ninths of the way across the horizontal axis and 4 ninths of the way up the vertical axis, and then ends at a point that is 8 ninths of the way across the horizontal axis and 5 ninths of the way up the vertical axis.

From left to right, the graph begins at the origin and moves to a point that is 2 ninths of the way across the horizontal axis and 1 ninth of the way up the vertical axis, moves to a point that is 3 ninths of the way across the horizontal axis and 3 ninths of the way up the vertical axis, moves to a point that is 4 ninths of the way across the horizontal axis and 3 ninths of the way up the vertical axis, moves to a point that is 6 ninths of the way across the horizontal axis and 8 ninths of the way up the vertical axis, and then ends at a point that is 8 ninths of the way across the horizontal axis and 8 ninths of the way up the vertical axis.
