The position of a shark that is being tracked relative to how far the shark is swimming from its starting point, the Equator. The Equator is represented by 0 on the y-axis of the chart.  Movement north from the Equator is assigned a positive value and movement south is assigned a negative value.

Peter’s trip lasted a total of 8 minutes, which can be inferred from the x-axis of the position-time graph. It took Peter 6 minutes to arrive at his destination which is found 25 km away from his home. After spending two minutes at the location Peter traveled to, Peter then spent 1 minute on his commute returning home. The velocity also remained constant during Peter’s trip returning home.

The scenario that best fits the description of the Position-Time Graph you provided is:

Peter’s trip lasted a total of 8 minutes, which can be inferred from the x-axis of the position-time graph. It took Peter 6 minutes to arrive at his destination which is found 25 km away from his home. After spending two minutes at the location Peter traveled to, Peter then spent 1 minute on his commute returning home. The velocity also remained constant during Peter’s trip returning home.

This option describes a specific situation that correlates well with the time increments and position changes represented on the graph. It clearly outlines a timeline and distance traveled, making it a good fit for the graph's layout.
