what else could it be @piercetheveil47?

piercetheveil47 · Answer

okay, so like in a real life situation if it was a graph of a buses speed, the bus would have stopped, creating a horizontal line?

piercetheveil47 · Answer

and i was just reassuring myself lmao. @skullpatrol

skullpatrol · Answer

Think about the variables you are graphing.

piercetheveil47 · Answer

my question is saying "what part of the graph did the bus driver most likely stop?" the point A is constant, and is that the point the bus driver stopped? I think yes but not sure

What is being graphed on the diagram?

piercetheveil47 · Answer

yes, that is the graph but at part B it is a straight line

skullpatrol · Answer

Think about what is happening as time moves forward: 1, 2, 3, 4,...

piercetheveil47 · Answer

so if it just becomes horizontal, that means it stopped right?

piercetheveil47 · Answer

because it is not going up or slowing down?

skullpatrol · Answer
