To determine which statements are true about the student's journey based on the graph you mentioned, I'd need to analyze the key features of the graph typically associated with such a scenario (like distance vs. time).

Since I don't have the actual graph, I can provide general guidance on evaluating each of the statements:

  1. The student rode slower, then a bit faster, then rested at the ice cream shop.

    • If the graph shows a decrease in the slope (indicating a slower pace), followed by an increase (indicating a faster pace), and then a plateau (indicating rest), this statement would be true.
  2. The student rode faster at the end of his ride than at the beginning.

    • If the slope (indicating speed) towards the end of the graph is steeper than at the beginning, this statement is true.
  3. The student spent more time resting than riding his bike.

    • This would be true if the time spent on a flat line (resting) exceeds the time represented by the slopes (riding).
  4. The student stopped for at least one rest break.

    • This statement is true if there is at least one flat segment (rest) in the graph.
  5. The student rode faster at the beginning, rested, then at a slower pace, rested, and then at a little faster pace.

    • This would be true if the graph's initial slope is steep, followed by a flat line, a shallower slope (indicating slower riding), another flat line, and then another increase in slope.

If you describe the specific features of the graph, I can help you determine which statements are true based on that information.
