Question

on saturday afternoon, mia walked to the park to play basketball with her friends. after playing basketball for a while, she realized she was going to be late for dinner! she then ran home. which graph could show mias distance from home over time?

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze Mia's movement

Mia starts at home (distance = 0), walks to the park (distance increases), plays basketball (distance stays constant), then runs home (distance decreases to 0).

Step2: Evaluate the first graph

The first graph has distance increasing at the end, which doesn't match running home (distance should decrease to 0).

Step3: Evaluate the second graph

The second graph: starts at 0, increases (walking to park), stays constant (playing), then decreases to 0 (running home) – matches the scenario.

Answer:

The Middle Graph (the second graph shown)
