​A bus was stopped for three minutes at a bus stop. When the light turned green, the bus accelerated at a steady rate, then continued driving at a constant speed. Then, the driver decelerated until it came to a stop at the next bus stop to pick up more passengers. Sketch a graph to represent the situation described.

​Step 1: Label your axes

​STEP 1: Label your axes.

STEP 2: Mark up each phase or interval

given. Determine:

•Are we increasing, decreasing, or

staying constant?

•How quickly are we increasing or

decreasing? (How steep should the

line be?)

•What direction are we traveling?
