This graph shows the progress of a student riding his bike from home to the ice cream shop.

Which statements are true about his journey?

A. The student rode slower, then a bit faster, then rested at the ice cream shop.
B. The student stopped for at least one rest break.
C. The student rode faster at the end of his ride than at the beginning.
D. The student spent more time resting than riding his bike.
E. The student rode faster at the beginning, rested, then a little slower pace, rested, and then a little faster pace.

To accurately assess the truth of the statements regarding the student's journey, we would typically need to analyze the graph mentioned, which shows the progress of the student over time. However, since I cannot view the graph, I can help you understand how to evaluate each statement based on common interpretations of such graphs:

A. The student rode slower, then a bit faster, then rested at the ice cream shop.

  • This could be true if the graph shows a decreasing slope (slower pace) followed by an increasing slope (faster pace) followed by a horizontal line (rest) at the ice cream shop.

B. The student stopped for at least one rest break.

  • This would be true if there are sections of the graph that are horizontal, indicating a stop or rest.

C. The student rode faster at the end of his ride than at the beginning.

  • This statement would be true if the slope of the line representing the end of the journey is steeper than the slope at the beginning.

D. The student spent more time resting than riding his bike.

  • This would depend on the length of the horizontal sections relative to the riding sections on the graph.

E. The student rode faster at the beginning, rested, then a little slower pace, rested, and then a little faster pace.

  • This interpretation would require observing a graph that shows a steeper initial slope (faster), followed by a flatter slope (rest), another flatter or slightly sloped section (slower pace), another rest, and then a steeper slope again (faster).

To conclude, you would need to analyze the graph to see which of these statements matches the visual data presented.
