Choose the graph that represents the scenario
(a)Linda is walking to school at a constant rate. Midway through the walk, she stops for a few minutes to talk to a friend. She then continues walking to school, but at a slower rate than before.

(b)Felipe is driving on the freeway at a constant speed. He then speeds up to pass a truck. After passing the truck, he exits the freeway and slows down.

Answer:

Based on the description of scenario (a) and the fact that you sent an image, I can help you choose the graph that represents Linda's walk to school.

The scenario describes three stages of Linda's walk:

1. **Constant rate:** She walks at a constant speed for the first half. This translates to a straight line in the distance vs time graph, with a constant slope. (Imagine a constant incline.)

2. **Stops:** She stops for a few minutes, so the distance remains constant during this time. This translates to a flat line in the graph, with no change in distance for a specific time duration. (Imagine a horizontal line segment.)

3. **Slower rate:** She continues walking at a slower speed. This translates to another straight line in the graph, but with a less steep slope compared to the first part (indicating a slower pace). (Imagine a less inclined line.)

Therefore, the graph that best represents Linda's walk to school is one that shows:

* A straight line with a constant slope for the first half.

* A flat line segment in the middle to represent the time she stops.

* Another straight line with a less steep slope for the second half.

**Unfortunately, I cannot directly access images. However, based on the description above, you should be able to identify the correct graph.**
