Your riding your bike to the park, sit to read for a while, and then ride your bike home. It takes you less time to ride from the park to your house than it took to ride from your house to the park.


Draw a sketch of a graph that shows your possible distance traveled over time. Label each section.
----
Draw an x/y coordinate system.
Let the x-axis be time
Let the y-axis be distance from your home.
----
You start the trip at (0,0); time is 0 and distance from home is zero.
----
For some time your distance from home increases:
You represent that by a line segment with a positive slope.
-----
Then you sit for some time:
You represent that by a line sement with slope = 0 (a horizontal line segment)
---
Then you ride back home.
You represent that by a line segment with a negative slope that
ends up on the x-axis.
