Question

Use the image to answer the question.

A step-up line is plotted in a coordinate plane. Each section of the line is labeled from 1 to 4. The x-axis for time in minutes ranges from 0 to 11 in increments of 1 and the y-axis for blocks from home ranges from 0 to 18 in increments of 1.

What scenario can be represented by the line labeled 2 in the graph?

Answer 1

Based on the description of the step-up line labeled 2 in the graph, it likely represents a scenario where there is a constant increase in the y-value (blocks from home) over time (x-value). This could indicate a continuous movement in one direction. Among the options provided, the most suitable scenario would be:

**walking back toward home at a constant speed**

This is because a constant upward line would imply a steady movement towards a specific point (home), which aligns with walking back at a steady pace. The other options either suggest changes in speed or actions that would not be represented by a straight line on the graph.
