Emily drove to the beach. She stayed at the beach and then she drove back home.

Here is Emily's travel graph.

A travel graph showing distance from home (miles) on the y-axis (0 to 40) against time on the x-axis (14 00 to 17 00). The graph consists of three straight line segments: from (14 00, 0) to (14 45, 35), from (14 45, 35) to (16 00, 35), and from (16 00, 35) to (17 00, 0). The y-axis has major grid lines every 10 units and minor grid lines every 2 units. The x-axis has major grid lines every 30 minutes and minor grid lines every 5 minutes.
