Need Help Asap Please

The distance, y, in centimeters, of an ant from a hole in the tree for a certain amount of time, x, in seconds, is shown in the graph:

Part A: Is the graph linear or nonlinear? Explain your answer. (2 points)
Part B: In which segments is the graph increasing, decreasing, and constant? (3 points)
Part C: In your own words, describe the motion of the ant, as shown on the graph. (5 points)

Answer 1

its linear
k increase L constant andM decrease
First the ant rised up in the graph but he keep and stayed in the same 4 seconds and then decreases

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A: The graph is linear

Linear functions have graphs that are straight lines, representing a constant change. On the other hand, nonlinear functions do not have a constant change, therefore, their graphs are not straight lines but curves.

Part B: In segment K increases, in L is constant and in M decreases

In segment K while the time increases so do the distances. In segment L while the time increases, the distance stays constant, it doesn’t change. And in segment M while the time increases, the distances decreases.

Part C: In the first 2 second, the ant moves away from the hole to a distance of 9 cm and stays there for 3 seconds. At the end of this time, the ant gets back to the hole in 2 seconds.
