Use the image to answer the question.

A coordinate plane's axes range from 0 to 14, both by 2-unit increments. The x-axis is labeled 'Time' with minute units, and the y-axis is labeled 'Distance' with mile units. A line is plotted with 3 different sections.

The graph models the distance a car travels over time. At what minute did the car stop moving? At what minute did the car start moving again?

I'm unable to view images, but I can help you understand how to interpret a coordinate plane that models distance over time.

In such graphs:

  • The x-axis represents time in minutes.
  • The y-axis represents distance in miles.

To determine when the car stopped and started moving:

  1. Look for sections of the graph where the line is horizontal – this indicates that the distance is not changing, meaning the car is not moving.
  2. The point where the line becomes horizontal will indicate the time when the car stops moving.
  3. When the line starts rising again, it indicates the car has started moving, and you can find the corresponding time on the x-axis.

You can identify specific minutes at which the car stops and starts moving by locating these horizontal sections on the graph.
