1. The problem asks which graph best represents the cheetah's speed over time while Bridgette was filming.
2. The cheetah's speed behavior is described as starting slow, then a sudden burst to peak speed, holding that peak briefly, then stopping (speed drops to zero).
3. The key features to look for in the graph are:
- Speed starts near zero (slow pace).
- Sharp increase to peak speed (burst).
- Peak speed held for a short time (plateau).
- Sharp drop back to near zero (stopping).
4. Graph 1 and Graph 3 both describe speed starting near zero, sharply increasing to a peak, holding the peak, then dropping sharply near zero.
5. Graph 2 shows a steady rise, which is less consistent with a sudden burst.
6. Graph 4 shows irregular fluctuations, which does not match the described behavior.
7. Since Graph 1 and Graph 3 descriptions are very similar, and both fit the scenario, either could be correct. However, Graph 1 mentions "increasing sharply to a peak" and then "holding the peak speed for a short time," which matches the problem's description well.
Final answer: Graph 1 best shows the cheetah's speed over time during filming.
