Without the visual of the graph, I can provide some guidance based on common interpretations of motion graphs. Here’s how you can determine the true statement among the options given:
-
The total time spent was 45 minutes. - You would be able to confirm this by looking at the time scale on the graph. If the duration represented on the x-axis adds up to 45 minutes, then this statement is true.
-
The car never slowed down. - To verify if the car never slowed down, look for a segment on the graph where the slope decreases (if the graph is a position vs. time graph). A decrease in slope would indicate that the car slowed down at that time.
-
The car traveled back to its starting point. - If the graph returns to the original position on the y-axis (if it's a position vs. time graph), the car would have traveled back to its starting point.
-
The car’s speed was not constant. - If the slope of the graph changes at different segments, the speed is not constant. This can be seen with varying steepness of the line(s) in a distance vs. time graph.
To find the true statement, analyze the graph according to these points. If you have specific timestamps, positions, or segments mentioned in the graph, let me know, and I can assist further!
