1. **Stating the problem:** We have a distance vs. time graph with points L, M, N, O, and P plotted over 5 hours. We need to determine which two statements about the graph are true based on its shape and values. 2. **Understanding the graph:** The vertical axis shows distance in kilometers, ranging from 80 km to -100 km. The horizontal axis shows time in hours from 1 to 5. 3. **Observing the graph:** - The graph starts near 0 km at hour 1 (point L). - It rises through points M and N, reaching a maximum distance between hours 3 and 4. - After the maximum, the graph sharply descends below 0 km at point O. - It ends near -100 km at hour 5 (point P). 4. **Interpreting the graph:** - The distance increases from hour 1 to about hour 3.5, indicating the object is moving away from the starting point. - The maximum point between hours 3 and 4 represents the farthest distance reached. - After the maximum, the distance decreases, crossing zero and becoming negative, meaning the object is moving back past the starting point in the opposite direction. - The final position at hour 5 is about -100 km, indicating the object is 100 km in the opposite direction from the start. 5. **Conclusion:** - The object moves away from the start, reaches a maximum distance, then returns past the start to a negative distance. - The two true statements would be those describing this behavior: increasing distance to a maximum, then decreasing distance past zero to a negative value.
