The car was driving at the same speed the whole time.
The car was driving at the same speed the whole time.

The car sped up quickly, stopped, and then slowed down quickly.
The car sped up quickly, stopped, and then slowed down quickly.

The car increased speed steadily, stopped, and then decreased its speed at a steady rate.
The car increased speed steadily, stopped, and then decreased its speed at a steady rate.

The car increased speed steadily, remained at the same speed, and then decreased its speed at a steady rate.

Answer 1

To determine which story matches the graph, I would need to know how the speed of the car changes across the time period shown in the graph.

However, based on the options provided:

1. If the graph depicts a constant speed, the first option would be appropriate.
2. If the car quickly sped up, stopped, and then quickly slowed down, the second option would match.
3. If the speed increases steadily, then there is a stop, followed by a steady decrease, the third option fits.
4. If the car increased speed steadily, remained constant for a while, and then decreased at a steady rate, then the fourth option is correct.

If you could provide more details about the graph changes, I can help identify the correct story match. Without seeing the graph, I would suggest the fourth option, "The car increased speed steadily, remained at the same speed, and then decreased its speed at a steady rate," as it encompasses varying behaviors over time.

Answer 2

10,20,30,40,50

Answer 3

Based on the sequence of speeds you provided (10, 20, 30, 40, 50), it indicates that the speed of the car is increasing steadily over time from 10 to 50.

Given the options you provided:

1. The car was driving at the same speed the whole time.

   • This does not match, as the speed is clearly increasing.

2. The car sped up quickly, stopped, and then slowed down quickly.

   • This does not match, as the data shows a consistent increase in speed without stopping.

3. The car increased speed steadily, stopped, and then decreased its speed at a steady rate.

   • This does not match because there is no mention of stopping or decreasing speed in your data.

4. The car increased speed steadily, remained at the same speed, and then decreased its speed at a steady rate.

   • This could partially match if there were periods of constant speed and decrease, but based on your numbers alone, it does not apply here either.

Since none of the descriptions exactly fit the information you provided, the best conclusion from your data (10, 20, 30, 40, 50) is:

• The car increased speed steadily.

If you were to rewrite the fourth option to say "The car increased speed steadily," it would be the most accurate choice based on the data given. However, with the current options, none accurately represent just the steady increase in speed through all the time intervals.

If you are referring to a graph that shows just a steady increase, please confirm that this was your intention, and I can suggest the most appropriate option based on that.

Answer 4

it just STEADY INCREASE

Answer 5

Thank you for the clarification! With the provided information that the graph shows a steady increase in speed (10, 20, 30, 40, 50), the best matching option from your list would be:

"The car increased speed steadily."

However, this exact phrase wasn't explicitly among your initial options. If we are choosing from the options you gave, the closest choice would be:

"The car increased speed steadily, remained at the same speed, and then decreased its speed at a steady rate."

While this option includes elements that don't apply (i.e., remaining at the same speed and decreasing speed), it correctly highlights the steady increase in speed.

For clarity, a more accurate option would simply state that the car "increased speed steadily," but since that is not provided among your choices, the fourth option is the best fit.
