Draw a graph of Lin’s distance as a function of time for this situation:

Lin walked a half-mile to school at a constant rate. Five minutes after arriving at school, Lin realized that she had left her permission slip at home. Lin began sprinting home, but when she was halfway there she got tired and walked the rest of the way.

The graph of Lin's distance as a function of time cannot be a straight line graph because of decrease in speed.

Given that Lin walks half a mile at a constant rate i.e. Lin velocity is constant.

If the speed is low then the time will be high. If speed is high then the time will be low because of the following rule:

Speed=Distance/ time.

For the first five minutes the graph will be upward sloping because he was sprinting and his speed was high so he will cover much more distance.

But after five minutes the graph will be downward sloping as the speed becomes low and he willcover less distance.

Hence the graph of Line's distance will not look like linear curve.
