1. Answer :

Jacob learned how to spell the same number of words each day.

Explanation :

The graph given above shows a constant rate. This means,  Jacob learned how to spell the same number of words each day.

2. Answer :

Michael started by learning how to spell the same number of words each day but then learned a greater number of words each day.

Explanation :

The graph given above begins with a steep curve that gets more shallow. This means, Michael started by learning how to spell the same number of words each day but then learned a greater number of words each day.

3. Answer :

George started by learning how to spell many words each day but then learned fewer and fewer words each day.

Explanation :

The graph given above begins with a steep curve that gets more shallow. This means, George started by learning how to spell many words each day but then learned fewer and fewer words each day.

4. Answer :

A person steadily increases his speed for some time, then he maintains the constant rate.

Explanation :

The graph starts with a positive slope and slope becomes zero. This means, the person steadily increases his speed for some time, then he maintains the constant rate.

5. Answer :

A person begins his ride slowly but then stops to talk with some friends. After a few minutes, he continues his ride, gradually increasing his speed.

Explanation :

The graph starts with a positive slope, then the slope becomes negative, zero and positive. This means, the person begins his ride slowly but then stops to talk with some friends. After a few minutes, he continues his ride, gradually increasing his speed.

6. Answer :

A person  steadily increases his speed through most of his ride. Then the person A slows down as he nears some trees.

Explanation :

The graph given above starts with a positive slope, then the slope becomes negative. This means, the person  steadily increases his speed through most of his ride. Then the person A slows down as he nears some trees.
