Math Problem Statement

Give me a picture of the completed graph.

Make a graph showing the number of blocks away from home that Andrew is x minutes after he leaves his house, until he gets back home.

Solution

Here is the completed graph showing Andrew's distance from home over time, based on the description of his journey.

Would you like further details or have any questions about this process?

Here are some follow-up questions to deepen your understanding:

  1. How would the graph change if Andrew drove at a different speed from the store to the bank?
  2. What if Andrew took a different route home, increasing the distance?
  3. How would the graph differ if he stayed longer at either the store or the bank?
  4. How would this journey look graphically if plotted on a distance vs. speed graph instead?
  5. How can we represent changes in speed on this type of distance-time graph?

Tip: In distance-time graphs, the slope represents speed; a steeper slope indicates higher speed, while a horizontal line indicates a stop.
