To determine which story matches the graph, we need to analyze the described scenarios. Here’s a breakdown:
-
The car sped up quickly, stopped, and then slowed down quickly. - This would typically show a sharp incline, a flat line (indicating a stop), and then a sharp decline.
-
The car increased speed steadily, remained at the same speed, and then decreased its speed at a steady rate. - This would be represented by a gradual slope upwards, a flat line, and then a gradual slope downwards.
-
The car was driving at the same speed the whole time. - The graph would show a flat line at a constant speed.
-
The car increased speed steadily, stopped, and then decreased its speed at a steady rate. - This situation shows a gradual increase in speed, a flat line (indicating stopping), and then a steady decline.
Without seeing the graph, if we need to match a story to a typical scenario, the second option would fit a more common interpretation of a speed-time graph with a steady increase, a constant speed, and then a gradual decrease. If there are distinct sections as per option (1) or (4), then they could be possible as well.
Assuming the characteristics in your graph show a gradual increase, constant speed, then a gradual decrease, the second response would be the correct match. Let me know if you have specific details about the graph that could further refine this answer!
