To accurately assess the rider's motion based on the graph you mentioned, I would need to see the graph itself. However, based on the conclusions provided, I can help you analyze each statement generally:

  1. The rider slowed down during the time period between 15 and 20 seconds. - This could be true if the slope of the graph decreases in that time interval, indicating a reduction in speed.

  2. The rider maintained a constant speed during the time period between 0 and 20 seconds. - This would be true if the line on the graph is linear and straight within that time range, showing no change in position over time.

  3. The rider did not move during the time period between 10 and 15 seconds. - This would be true if the graph is flat (horizontal line) in that segment, indicating that the position did not change.

  4. The rider rode downhill during the time period between 15 and 20 seconds. - This would be true if the graph shows a negative slope, indicating a decrease in position over time.

Based on typical interpretations of motion graphs:

  • A flat line indicates no movement.
  • A sloped line indicates motion, with the steepness indicating speed.
  • A downward slope indicates descending motion (downhill).

You can confirm which conclusion is valid by checking the graph for these characteristics. If you provide the graph or its details, I can offer a more precise conclusion.
