“A graph shows distance from home on the y-axis and time on the x-axis. The graph is a horizontal line for 5 minutes, then slopes upwards at a constant rate for 10 minutes. Write a story describing this motion. A graph shows distance from school on the y-axis and time on the x-axis. The graph slopes upwards steeply for 2 minutes, then slopes upwards less steeply for 8 minutes. Write a story describing this motion. A graph shows distance from a starting point on the y-axis and time on the x-axis. The graph slopes upwards at a constant rate for 3 minutes, then slopes downwards at a constant rate (steeper than the first slope) for 1 minute, returning to the starting point. Write a story describing this motion.”
