Question

rose went for a hike yesterday. she started at sea level and hiked up to an overlook. at the overlook, she stopped to drink some water and enjoy the view. after that, she hiked back down to sea level. which graph could show roses elevation over time? four graphs labeled roses hike with elevation (ft.) on y - axis and time (min.) on x - axis are shown, with different line patterns representing elevation over time

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the hike process

Rose starts at sea level (elevation = 0), hikes up (elevation increases), stops (elevation constant), then hikes down to sea level (elevation decreases to 0).

Step2: Check each graph

• Top - Left: Starts at non - zero elevation, incorrect.
• Top - Right: Ends at non - zero elevation and has a wrong increase at the end, incorrect.
• Bottom - Left: Starts at 0, increases (hiking up), stays constant (stopping), then decreases to 0 (hiking down), matches the process.
• Bottom - Right: Ends at non - zero elevation, incorrect.

Answer:

The Bottom - Left Graph (labeled "Rose's hike" with elevation starting at 0, increasing, plateauing, then decreasing to 0)
