Question

The distance, y, in centimeters, of an ant from a hole in the tree for a certain amount of time, x, in seconds, is shown in the graph: (will be in comments)

Part A: Is the graph linear or nonlinear? Explain your answer.

Part B: In which segments is the graph increasing, decreasing, and constant?

Part C: In your own words, describe the motion of the ant, as shown on the graph.

Answer 1

First, is the graph linear or non-linear

A linear graph means that the line is straight, 180 degrees

So, is this a linear or non-linear graph?

Answer 2

For the second one, increasing/constant/decreasing

Just look when the graph is sloping upwards, stays the same, or starts to slope downwards, and write down the time interval for each

Answer 3

For the third one, you can just write
The ant went 9 cm from the whole in 2 seconds, stayed out for 3, and then came back in 2 seconds, or something like that

Answer 4

ok ty for the a clear up on that

Answer 5
