An elevator in a hotel starts at ground level. It rapidly moves up to the third floor, where it stops to unload passengers. The elevator then descends to the basement at a slower speed than before.
A line graph shows the motion of an elevator as it goes up and down. The vertical axis lists various floors of the building. The horizontal axis shows time. A line sloping upward from the ground floor to the third floor is labeled, A. A line parallel to the horizontal axis at the third floor is labeled, B. A line sloping downward from the third floor to the basement is labeled, C.
In 1–2 sentences, identify whether or not the graph correctly represents the story. Explain your answer.
