Iwill mark brainliest for the answer that is correct and worth 30 points the distance, y, in centimeters, of an ant from a hole in the tree for a certain amount of time, x, in seconds, is shown in the graph: a graph titled motion of ant is shown. the graph shows time in seconds on the x-axis and the distance from hole in centimeters on the y-axis. the scale on the x-axis is shown from 0 to 6 at increments of 1, and the scale on the y-axis is shown from 0 to 12 at increments of 2. the graph has 3 straight lines. the first line is labeled p and joins ordered pairs 0, 0 and 2, 6. the second line is labeled q and joins ordered pairs 2, 6 and 3, 6. the third line is labeled r and joins ordered pairs 3, 6 and 5, 0. part a: is the graph linear or nonlinear? explain your answer. (2 points) part b: in which segments is the graph increasing, decreasing, and constant? (3 points) part c: in your own words, describe the motion of the ant, as shown on the graph. (5 points)

Part A:

A linear graph is one with a line that has the same slope all the way through. In this case, you can tell the line doesn't have the same slope the whole way through because at one part it flattens and also decreases.

Part B:

Increasing would mean the slope of the line is positive, or it appears to be going upwards. Constant would be the slope is 0, and it's just a horizontal line. Decreasing would be the slope of the line is negative, and it appears to be going downwards. In this case, this would mean that the segment K is increasing, because it appears to be going upwards, L would be constant, because it is a horizontal line, and M would be decreasing, because it's going downwards.

Part C: 

I would say the ant started moving away from the hole for 2 seconds, and then stopped for 3 seconds, and then started moving again back to the hole for another 3 seconds.

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: solve one of the equations for one of the variables. let's solve the first equation for y:

step 2: substitute that equation into the other equation, and solve for x.

step 3: substitute x = 4 x = 4 x=4 into one of the original equations, and solve for y.
