Use the image to answer the question.

A couple of lines and a curve are graphed on a coordinate plane. Each section is labeled from 1 to 3. The x-axis for time in seconds ranges from 0 to 14 in increments of 1 and the y-axis for height in feet ranges from 0 to 20 in increments of 1.

What scenario could represent the pieces of function types in the graph?

Based on the description of the graph with sections labeled from 1 to 3, it seems to involve a scenario where there is a change in height over time, likely representing motion.

  • The first option, "A train ride at the fair has one stop," could represent a segment where the train goes up, stops, and then comes back down.
  • The second option, "An athlete goes on a run from home and then comes back home," includes back and forth movement, which might not clearly align with changes in height.
  • The third option, "A diver climbs to the diving board to jump," fits well if there’s an upward movement (climbing) followed by a downward curve (diving).
  • The fourth option, "An ultimate frisbee player throws a frisbee to score a point," would typically involve a parabolic trajectory, which might align with curves in the graph.

Given these considerations, the best match would be "A diver climbs to the diving board to jump," as it directly involves a clear upward movement (climb) followed by a downward movement (jump), which can be represented by the sections in the graph.
