The rider rode downhill during the time period between 15 and 20 seconds.
The rider rode downhill during the time period between 15 and 20 seconds.

The rider slowed down during the time period between 15 and 20 seconds.

Answer 1

To conclude accurately about the rider's motion based on the graph, it is important to interpret the data correctly.

1. The rider maintained a constant speed during the time period between 0 and 20 seconds. - This statement is true if the graph describes a straight line with a constant slope during that time.

2. The rider did not move during the time period between 10 and 15 seconds. - This would be true if the graph is flat (horizontal) during that interval.

3. The rider rode downhill during the time period between 15 and 20 seconds. - This would be true if the graph shows a downward slope during that time.

4. The rider slowed down during the time period between 15 and 20 seconds. - This would be indicated by a decreasing slope on the graph, implying reduced speed.

Without seeing the graph, the correct response cannot be definitively stated. However, you need to choose the statement that best matches the characteristics depicted in the graph. Please review the graph and consider the characteristics of the motion to determine which of the provided responses is accurate.
