write a situation that would model the graph below. pay attention to the increasing, decreasing and constant parts. watch for how the slope makes sense to the problem. look at those units!

make sure to include each section of the graph!

[insert name here] drove his scooter around. When he started, his speed increased constantly to 10 mph (O-A). He cruised at 10mph for a few seconds. (A-B) Then he slowed down (B-C) and stopped for a few seconds (C-D). He then started speeding up (D-E) and cruised for a few more seconds. (E-F)

let x be the money she spent so that she can earn the free t-shirt.

since, she already spent $112.49

⇒

also, as per the statement: jennifer must spend $250 or more in order to qualify for a free t-shirt at the store.
