I WILL AWARD BRAINLIEST!! PLEASE HELP!!! The figure below shows the movement of a pedestrian from point B to point E. Using the

A) The speed of pedestrian BC is 5 km/h

    The speed of pedestrian CD is 0 km/h

    The speed of pedestrian DE is 5 km/h

B) He reached E since the stop after 6 hours

C) The formula for section BC is d(t) = 40 - 5t

    The formula for section CD is d(t) = 20

    The formula for section DE is d(t) = 50 - 5t

Step-by-step breakdown:

A)

In the time-distance graph, speed represents the change in distance with respect to time

this means speed = Δd/Δt ⇒ (slope of the line)

For line BC:

1. Δd = 40 - 20 = 20 km

2. Δt = 4 - 0 = 4 hours

3. The speed = 20 ÷ 4 = 5 km/h

The speed of pedestrian BC stands at 5 km/h

For line CD:

1. Δd = 20 - 20 = 0 km

2. Δt = 6 - 4 = 2 hours

3. The speed = 0 ÷ 2 = 0 km/h

The speed of pedestrian CD is 0 km/h

For line DE:

1. Δd = 20 - 0 = 20 km

2. Δt = 10 - 6 = 4 hours

3. The speed = 20 ÷ 4 = 5 km/h

The speed for pedestrian DE is 5 km/h

B)

∵ He stopped at t = 4 hours

∵ He reached point E at t = 10 hours

∵ 10 - 4 = 6 hours

He arrived at E since the stop took 6 hours

C)

1. f(x) is referenced as d(t)

2. m is the speed

3. x corresponds to t

4. You can calculate c by substituting any coordinates of a point along the line into the formula

Line BC has a negative slope because d decreases as t increases

∵ m = -5 and c = 40

Thus, d(t) = 40 - 5t

The equation for section BC is d(t) = 40 - 5t

Line CD

Line CD is a horizontal line (which follows the form of any horizontal line represented as y = c)

Thus, m = 0 and c = 20

Therefore, d(t) = 20

The equation for section CD is d(t) = 20

Line DE

Line DE features a negative slope as d decreases along with an increase in t

∵ m = -5

Thus, d(t) = -5t + c

The value of c can be determined by substituting point D's coordinates into the equation

∵ D's coordinates are (6, 20)

Thus, 20 = -5(6) + c

So, 20 = -30 + c

Adding 30 to both sides yields

∴ c = 50

Thus, d(t) = 50 - 5t

The equation for section DE is d(t) = 50 - 5t
