Explanation:

Step1: Identify the rest period on the graph

On a distance - time graph, when the distance from home does not change (the graph is a horizontal line), it means the person is at rest.

Step2: Calculate the duration of the rest period

Count the number of grid units for the horizontal line segment. Each grid unit represents 2 minutes. The horizontal line segment has 2 grid units. So the duration is \(2\times2 = 4\) minutes.
