Answer 1

I don't have the graph image here. Could you upload it or describe how distance changes over each segment (AB, BC, CD, DE)?

If it's helpful, here's how to read a distance‑vs‑time graph so you can pick the correct option:

- Slope (rise/run) = speed.
- Horizontal line (slope = 0) → no motion.
- Straight line with constant (nonzero) slope → constant speed.
- Curve whose slope is increasing (gets steeper) → speeding up (positive acceleration).
- Curve whose slope is decreasing (gets less steep) → slowing down (negative acceleration).

Tell me whether each segment is horizontal, straight sloped, curved getting steeper, or curved getting shallower and I’ll pick the correct option for you.
