Graphs in practical situations — practice question

The speed-time graph provides data for a bus journey. The vertical axis is Speed (m/s) and the horizontal axis is Time (seconds). Speed rises linearly from 0 to 15 m/s during the first 20 seconds, remains constant at 15 m/s until 140 seconds, then falls linearly to 0 by 190 seconds. The graph is labelled NOT TO SCALE.
