This graph shows the progress of a student riding his bike from home to the ice cream shop. Which 2 statements are true about his journey? (2 points) Responses The student stopped for at least one rest break. The student stopped for at least one rest break. The student rode slower, then a bit faster, than rested at the ice cream shop. The student rode slower, then a bit faster, than rested at the ice cream shop. The student rode faster at the beginning, rested, then a little slower pace, rested, and then a little faster pace. The student rode faster at the beginning, rested, then a little slower pace, rested, and then a little faster pace. The student spent more time resting than riding his bike. The student spent more time resting than riding his bike. The student rode faster at the end of his ride than at the beginning.

To determine which statements are true about the student's journey, we can analyze the given options based on typical graph behavior for a journey:

  1. The student stopped for at least one rest break. - This statement is often true if there are flat sections on the graph, indicating a stop.

  2. The student rode slower, then a bit faster, then rested at the ice cream shop. - This statement is often true if the graph shows segments where the slope increases and decreases, indicating changes in speed and then a flat line at the ice cream shop.

  3. The student rode faster at the beginning, rested, then a little slower pace, rested, and then a little faster pace. - This statement might be represented if the graph has an initial steep slope (indicating a fast pace), followed by a flat section (rest), then a less steep slope (slower speed), another flat section (rest), and finally a steeper slope again (a faster pace).

  4. The student spent more time resting than riding his bike. - This would be true if the flat sections (resting) are longer in duration than the sloped sections (riding).

  5. The student rode faster at the end of his ride than at the beginning. - This would be true if the final slope is steeper than the initial slope.

Based on typical graph behaviors, the statements that are likely to be true can be narrowed down to the following:

Likely True Statements:

  • The student stopped for at least one rest break.
  • The student rode faster at the beginning, rested, then a little slower pace, rested, and then a little faster pace.
