Larry is driving a snowmobile. Consider the graph which shows the relationship between the speed of Larry's snowmobile and the time in minutes.

Which statement best interprets information provided by the graph?
A.
The speed of Larry's snowmobile increased at a non linear rate the entire time.
B.
The speed of Larry's snowmobile decreased at a constant rate for some time.
C.
The speed of Larry’s snowmobile increased until he paused for a break.
D.
The speed of Larry's snowmobile increased at a constant linear rate for some time.

To accurately interpret the information provided by the graph, we would need to examine the details of how the speed changes over time. However, based on the options provided:

  • A suggests a non-linear increase, which would typically require the graph to show changes in the rate of speed increase.
  • B indicates a constant decrease, but without seeing the graph, we cannot confirm any downward trend.
  • C implies a pause in speed increase, which may only be accurate if the graph shows a flat line at a certain point.
  • D indicates a constant linear increase, which is likely if the graph shows a straight upward line at a consistent angle.

Without visual reference to the graph, it's difficult to choose definitively, but if the graph indicates that the speed increases consistently over a period before any pause or change, option D could be the best interpretation.

Just ensure that you have the correct details from the graph to make the most accurate choice among the options.
