Question
The following is the time-distance graph of Sneha’s walking.
- When does Sneha make the least progress? Explain your reasoning.
- Find her average speed in km/hour.

Solution
a. Sneha made least progress between 25 min to 40 min.
Observing the graph carefully, we see that initially, she is travelling approximately 0.5 km in 10 min, 0.25 km in 5 min, till the first 25 min. But after 25 min, her speed decreased as she travelled 0.25 km in 15 min (between 25 min to 40 min).
b. Average speed = `"Total distance travelled"/"Time"`
= `2/(55/60)`
= `2/55 xx 60`
= 2.18 km/h

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.
(i) On a copy of the map, mark the point that is 3 km East and 5 km North of Point B and label it S. Is Point S in the water or on the island? Is Point S in the same place as Point A?
(ii) Mark the point that is 7 km east and 5 km north of Point B and label it C. Then mark the point that is 5 km east and 7 km north of Point B and label it D. Are Points C and D in the same place? Give the coordinates of Points C and D.
(iii) Which point is in the water, (2, 7) or (7, 2)? Mark the point which is in water on your map and label it E.
