  • Q2
    Izzy travelled 12 km in half an hour. Then stopped for 15 minutes. Then travelled another 8 km in 25 minutes. What would be the problem with using steps of 2 km on these axes?
    Question Image
    The graph would be really small and not make use of the space.
    The journey would not fit on the graph.
    The coordinates would be between gridlines and difficult to plot.
