I'm having some trouble with this question, somebody help me!
The distance, y, in centimeters, of an ant from a hole in the tree for a certain amount of time, x, in seconds, is shown in the graph:
A graph titled Motion of Ant is shown. The graph shows time in seconds on the x-axis and the Distance from Hole in centimeters on the y-axis. The scale on the x-axis is shown from 0 to 6 at increments of 1, and the scale on the y-axis is shown from 0 to 18 at increments of 3. The graph has 3 straight lines. The first line is labeled K and joins ordered pairs 0, 0 and 2, 9. The second line is labeled L and joins ordered pairs 2, 9 and 5, 9. The third line is labeled M and joins ordered pairs 5, 9 and 7, 0.
Part A: Is the graph linear or nonlinear? Explain your answer. (2 points)
Part B: In which segments is the graph increasing, decreasing, and constant? (3 points)
Part C: In your own words, describe the motion of the ant, as shown on the graph. (5 points)
Answers
Answer:
A) The graph is nonlinear because it is not a straight line. The direction, and thus the slope, is not constant.
B) Increasing: K
Decreasing: M
Constant: L
C) The ant walks for 2 seconds and is 9 centimeters from the hole. He stands there for 3 seconds. Then he turns around and takes 2 seconds to walk the 9 centimeters back to the hole.
