Step-by-step solution

4 steps

To draw the distance-time graph, follow these steps:

  1. Set up the axes.

    Draw a horizontal axis (x-axis) to represent Time in minutes.
    Draw a vertical axis (y-axis) to represent Distance from the House in kilometers.

  2. Apply the scale to the axes.

    • Y-axis (Distance): The scale is 2 cm to 10 km. Mark the y-axis such that every 2 cm interval represents an increase of 10 km (e.g., 0, 10, 20, 30, 40 km).
    • X-axis (Time): The scale is 2 cm to 1 unit. For practical plotting, we will assume 1 unit on the x-axis represents 10 minutes. Therefore, mark the x-axis such that every 2 cm interval represents an increase of 10 minutes (e.g., 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, ..., up to 250 minutes).
  3. Plot the key points of the journey.

    • Start (House): At time 0 minutes, the distance from the house is 0 km. Plot the point (0,0)(0, 0).
    • House to Town A: The journey takes 20 minutes, covering 20 km. Plot the point (20 min,20 km)(20 \text{ min}, 20 \text{ km}).
    • Stop at Town A: She stops for 10 minutes. The time is now 20+10=3020 + 10 = 30 minutes, and the distance from the house is still 20 km. Plot the point (30 min,20 km)(30 \text{ min}, 20 \text{ km}).
    • Town A to Town B: This journey takes 20 minutes, covering 20 km. The total time is now 30+20=5030 + 20 = 50 minutes, and the total distance from the house is 20+20=4020 + 20 = 40 km. Plot the point (50 min,40 km)(50 \text{ min}, 40 \text{ km}).
    • Town B to House (Return): This journey takes 200 minutes (3 hours and 20 minutes). The total time is now 50+200=25050 + 200 = 250 minutes, and the distance from the house is 0 km. Plot the point (250 min,0 km)(250 \text{ min}, 0 \text{ km}).
  4. Connect the points.

    Draw straight lines to connect the plotted points in chronological order:

    • Connect $(0, 0)$ to $(20, 20)$. (House to Town A)
    • Connect $(20, 20)$ to $(30, 20)$. (Stop at Town A)
    • Connect $(30, 20)$ to $(50, 40)$. (Town A to Town B)
    • Connect $(50, 40)$ to $(250, 0)$. (Town B to House)

    This will form the complete distance-time graph.
