Question

1. the graph represents ursulas distance from home over a 9 minute interval.

initially, how far was ursula from home?

= km

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the initial time

The initial time is at \( t = 0 \) minutes (since "initially" refers to the start of the time interval).

Step2: Find the distance at \( t = 0 \)

Looking at the graph, when \( t = 0 \) (the y - axis intercept at \( x = 0 \)), the distance from home is the value of the distance - from - home axis (y - axis) at \( x = 0 \). From the graph, at \( t=0 \), the distance from home is 1 km (by observing the vertical position of the point at \( t = 0 \) on the distance - from - home axis, which is between 0 and 2, and since the grid lines seem to have a spacing that makes the initial distance 1 km).
