To match the motion statements with the events on the time and distance graph, we can typically identify certain characteristics of the graph:

  1. Sally walked at a steady speed for 5 meters: This would be represented on a graph as a straight line with a positive slope. The line would rise steadily from the starting point to 5 meters over a specific time interval.

  2. Sally returned to her starting point: This event would be shown on the graph as a line that goes back down to the starting point (0 meters) after reaching a certain distance. This would create a downward slope returning to the horizontal axis.

  3. Sally stood still: On the graph, this would be represented as a horizontal line where the distance remains constant over time (for example, if the distance is at 5 meters and the line stays flat for a duration).

With these interpretations, you can match each statement to what they typically look like on a time and distance graph. If you have specific visual references from the graph, that would help in making precise matches.
