The figure presents a graph of 5 line segments titled “Theresa’s Running Speed and Time.” The horizontal axis is labeled “Time,” in minutes, and the numbers zero through 30, in increments of 5, are indied. The vertical axis is labeled “Speed,” in miles per hour, and the numbers zero through 8 are indied. The first line segment begins at the point with coordinates zero minutes, zero miles per hour, and moves steeply upward and to the right to the point with coordinates 5 minutes, 7 miles per hour. The second line segment begins where the first line segment ends and moves horizontally and to the right to the point with coordinates 10 minutes, 7 miles per hour. The third line segment begins where the second line segment ends and moves gradually downward and to the right to the point with coordinates 20 minutes, 5 miles per hour. The fourth line segment begins where the third line segment ends and moves sharply upward and to the right to the point with coordinates 25 minutes, 8 miles per hour. The fifth line segment begins where the fourth line segment ends and moves steeply downward and to the right to the horizontal axis, ending at the point with coordinates 30 minutes, zero miles per hour.
