Lesson 10: Piecewise Linear Functions | Unit 5: Functions and Volume

What does the graph of the car's distance from home over time indicate?

This graph shows a trip on a bike trail. The trail has markers every 0.5 kilometer showing the distance from the beginning of the trail. Coordinate plane, x, time in hours, 0 to 3 point 4 by point 2, y, distance from beginning in kilometers, 0 to 10 by 2. Line segments connecting the origin and (point 8 comma 8), (1 point 4 comma 8), (2 point 2 comma 10), (2 point 4 comma 10), (2 point 6 comma 5), (3 comma 0). When was the bike rider going the fastest?

A basketball team wants to order custom printed T-shirts. Shirts cost $$10 each if they order 10 or fewer shirts and$$ 9 each for 11 or more shirts. What is the slope of the graph between 0 and 10? What does it mean in the story?
