To determine which statements are true about the student's journey based on the graph (which I cannot see), we can analyze the provided statements more generally. Here are some possible interpretations for each:

  1. The student spent more time resting than riding his bike.

    • This would be true if there were long horizontal segments on the graph where time is spent without any increase in distance.
  2. The student rode slower, then a bit faster, then rested at the ice cream shop.

    • If the graph shows an initial slow pace, followed by an increasing slope (indicating a faster speed), and then a flat segment at the shop, this could be correct.
  3. The student stopped for at least one rest break.

    • This statement would generally be true if the graph includes any horizontal line segments indicating the student was stationary at any point.
  4. The student rode faster at the beginning, rested, then a little slower pace, rested, and then a little faster pace.

    • This would be true if the graph shows the beginning slope as steep, followed by flat segments (rest), then a decrease in slope (slower), another flat segment, and finally a steeper slope (faster).
  5. The student rode faster at the end of his ride than at the beginning.

    • This would be true if the last segment of the graph had a steeper slope than the initial segment.

To choose two true statements, it would be necessary to visualize the graph directly. However, if you have some detailed observations about the transitions in speed (i.e., slopes of the graph) and resting segments, that will inform which two options to select.

For a general conclusion, if the graph has distinct resting stages and varying speeds, points 2 and 3 are often common choices for true statements.
