Question 173169This question is from textbook Amsco's Preparing for the Regents Examination Mathematics B
: (14) Maxine left her home for school, walking at a steady pace. She stopped at a snack shop for some hot chocolate, and then continued on to schoolm walking at a steady pace but a little faster to make up for the time she spent at the snack shop. Sketch a graph of Maxine's distance from home as a function of time.

Show work thanks.! GOOD MORNING !!This question is from textbook Amsco's Preparing for the Regents Examination Mathematics B

Answer by stanbon(48558) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let the x-axis be time and the y-axis be distance from home.
--------------------
pace means slope when you are graphing.
--------
So start a line at (0,0)
Let it have some positive slope to the right.
Then at some point increase the slope.
That disjointed line models the situation described.
