Her distance from the top of the waterslide is constant with respect to time.
Her distance from the top of the waterslide is constant with respect to time.

Her distance from the top of the waterslide is increasing with respect to time.
Her distance from the top of the waterslide is increasing with respect to time.

Her distance from the top of the water slide with respect to time is increasing until she gets halfway up, but then it begins to decrease.

Her distance from the top of the waterslide is decreasing with respect to time.

Answer 1

The correct response is:

Her distance from the top of the waterslide is decreasing with respect to time.

As Isla walks up the steps to the top of the 125-foot waterslide, her distance from the top decreases continuously until she reaches the top. This means that the graph of her distance from the top versus time would show a downward slope that goes from 125 feet (at the bottom) to 0 feet (at the top).
