The question asks for the statement that is NOT true given the figure. Start by working the figure. The figure shows the time, in hours, along the horizontal axis and the distance from home, in kilometers, along the vertical axis. Note that the scales on each axis are different. Next, Read the Full Question. The question asks for what is NOT true, so work each answer choice and eliminate any choice that IS true. Choice (A) states that George's distance from home increased at a constant rate for the first hour; however, the distance increased along a curved line, whereas a constant increase would result in a straight line. Furthermore, the increase is only for the first 30 minutes; the distance from home decreases after 30 minutes. Therefore, (A) is not true. This is likely the correct answer, but check the remaining ones to be sure. To check (B), look for the highest vertical value, which is at 0.5 hours. This is in the first hour, so (B) is true; eliminate it. For (C), a constant distance from home would appear as a horizontal line in the graph. The graph is horizontal between 2 and 3 hours, so the distance from home was constant for one hour. Choice (C) is true; eliminate it. To check (D), go through the graph and add up the time intervals George's distance from home was increasing and check that total against the total time intervals that his distance from home was decreasing. His distance from home was increasing from 0 to 0.5 hours, from 1.5 to 2 hours, and from 3 to 4.5 hours, for a total of 2.5 hours. His distance from home was decreasing from 0.5 to 1.5 hours and 4.5 to 5 hours, for a total of 1.5 hours. Choice (D) is true; eliminate it. The correct answer is (A).
