PLZ I NEED THIS RN
The distance, y, in centimeters, of an ant from a hole in the tree for a certain amount of time, x, in seconds, is shown in the graph:

A graph titled Motion of Ant is shown. The graph shows time in seconds on the x-axis and the Distance from Hole in centimeters on the y-axis. The scale on the x-axis is shown from 0 to 6 at increments of 1, and the scale on the y-axis is shown from 0 to 12 at increments of 2. The graph has 3 straight lines. The first line is labeled P and joins ordered pairs 0, 0 and 2, 6. The second line is labeled Q and joins ordered pairs 2, 6 and 3, 6. The third line is labeled R and joins ordered pairs 3, 6 and 5, 0.
Part A: Is the graph linear or nonlinear? Explain your answer. (2 points)
Part B: In which segments is the graph increasing, decreasing, and constant? (3 points)
Part C: In your own words, describe the motion of the ant, as shown on the graph. (5 points)

Answer:

A: Nonlinear

B: Constant=0, Decreasing=M, Increasing=K

C: 2-3-3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Linear graph - one with a line that has the same slope all the way through

The line doesn't have the same slope the whole way through because at one part it flattens and also decreases

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Remember: Increase (up), decrease (down), constant (constant)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. In my words, I don't know if they're asking the pattern or technical, but you can add on to the 2 mins walk, 3 mins stop, then 2 mins walk again.

Hope it helps
