To determine the goalkeeper's distance from the goalpost when the ball was kicked, we need to look at the graph described. Typically, on such a graph:
- The x-axis represents the distance from the goalpost (with 0 meters being the goalpost).
- The y-axis represents the height of the ball.
When the ball is kicked, its initial position (the point where the trajectory starts) will be at a specific x-coordinate, which indicates how far the goalkeeper was from the goalpost at that moment.
Based on the options given, without the actual graph, we cannot directly analyze it. However, if the initial point of the ball's trajectory on the x-axis were indicated:
- If it starts at 0 meters, the goalkeeper was right at the goalpost.
- If it starts at 2 meters, the goalkeeper was 2 meters from the goalpost.
- If it starts at 4 meters, the goalkeeper was 4 meters from the goalpost.
- If it starts at 6 meters, the goalkeeper was 6 meters from the goalpost.
In other contexts, a graph demonstrating the trajectory of an object kicked would show an initial point indicating the initial position where the ball is kicked.
If you have access to the graph, observe the point where the ball's trajectory begins to determine the correct choice.
If you can provide the coordinates of the starting point or if you see any specific information about that on the graph, I can help you further narrow down the answer based on that information.
