Question 9

Dawn drove from London to Birmingham. She made one stop at a service station.

Here is part of Dawn's travel graph.

A travel graph showing distance from London in miles against time. The y-axis ranges from 0 to 120 with major grid lines every 20 units and minor grid lines every 10 units. The x-axis shows times from 10 00 to 14 00 with major grid lines every hour and minor grid lines every 15 minutes. The graph consists of three straight line segments: from (10 00, 0) to (11 30, 60), from (11 30, 60) to (12 00, 60), and from (12 00, 60) to (12 45, 90).
