Question

The graph represents the heights of two climbers on a climbing wall over a 12-minute time period.

A graph titled The Climbing Wall where the horizontal axis shows time (minutes), numbered 1 to 12, and the vertical axis shows height (feet) numbered 2 to 24. The line labeled Brynn's climb begins at 0 feet in 0 minutes, to 15 feet from 5 to 7 minutes, to 0 feet in 10 minutes. The line labeled Abby's climb begins at 4 feet in 0 minutes, to 14 feet from 4 to 6 minutes, to 22 feet in 8 minutes, to 0 feet in 12 minutes.

Which statement is true about the climbers’ heights?

Brynn was resting at a constant climbing height when Abby’s climbing height was decreasing.
Abby’s climbing height was decreasing when Brynn’s climbing height was increasing.
The heights of both climbers increased, then decreased, with no rest at a constant height.
Both climbers rested on the wall at a constant height for 2 minutes

Answer 1

Both climbers rested for 2 minutes. Brynn stayed at 15 ft from minute 5 to 7 (2 minutes) and Abby stayed at 14 ft from minute 4 to 6 (2 minutes), so the fourth statement is true.
