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: A graph titled Motion of Ant is shown. The graph shows time in seconds on the x-axis and the Distance from Hole in centimeters on the y-axis. The scale on the x-axis is shown from 0 to 7 at increments of 1, and the scale on the y-axis is shown from 0 to 24 at increments of 4. The graph has 3 straight lines. The first line is labeled A and joins ordered pairs 0, 0 and 2, 16. The second line is labeled B and joins ordered pairs 2, 16 and 4, 16. The third line is labeled C and joins ordered pairs 4, 16 and 6, 0.

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)
