Question
Sylvia went out for a run. She ran for 10 minutes at a constant pace of 6 miles per hour. She took a 2-minute stretch break. Then she ran at a faster pace of 10 miles per hour for 8 minutes. If functions are used to represent Sylvia's distance from the point where she started her run, what type of function could be used to describe the 2-minute stretch break?(1 point)
Responses

exponential function
exponential function

constant function
constant function

linear function
linear function

quadratic function

Answer 1

The best option to describe Sylvia's distance from the point where she started her run during the 2-minute stretch break is a **constant function**.

During the break, her distance from the starting point does not change; she is stationary, so the distance remains constant over that time interval.
