The graph of the student's distance is not always increasing with time.

A distance time graph shows the graphical representation of the distance moved by an object with respect to time.

In the scenario given above.

  • Distance increases as the student rides bike to the bus stop
  • Waiting a few minutes for bus represents a period of Zero movement, thus distance does not increase as time passes during this phase.
  • Riding period on a bus depicts increasing distance with time.
  • Walking from parking lot to class (final destination) represents increasing distance with time.

According to the travel pattern of the student, the graph is not always increasing as observed during his waiting time for bus.

Hence, it can be concluded that the graph is not always increasing.
