Graphs in practical situations — practice question
The distance-time graph represents the cyclist’s first 10 minutes of travel.
Its vertical axis is labelled "Distance (km)" and runs from 0 to 4, while its horizontal axis is labelled "Time (minutes)" and runs from 0 to 10. The graph contains a straight line rising from (0,0) to (6,2), then a horizontal segment from 6 to 7 minutes at a distance of 2 km, and finally another straight line rising from 7 minutes at 2 km to 10 minutes at 3.5 km.
