Solution

Analysing the graph carefully, we observe that

  1. He started his journey at 5:30 AM and end at 6 PM.
  2. Total duration of journey was 12:30 h.
  3. His forward journey is of duration 8:30 h and return journey is of duration 4 h. Forward journey was of longer duration.
  4. He did not move from 6:30 AM to 9:30 AM and 10 AM to 1 PM. So, he did not move for 6 h.
  5. He have the fastest speed at 1 PM.

This graph shows a map of an island just off the coast of a continent. The point labelled B represents a major city on the coast. The distance between grid lines represents 1 km.

Point A represents a resort that is located 5 km East and 3 km North of Point B. The values 5 and 3 are the coordinates of Point A. The coordinates can be given as the ordered pair (5, 3), where 5 is the horizontal coordinate and 3 is the vertical coordinate.
