We want to find a real-life situation that can be modeled with the given graph.
First, let's remember that the horizontal axis represents the x-axis and the vertical one represents the y-axis.
So we want to find a function:
y = f(x)
that:
- First. decays a little.
- Then is constant for a little.
- Then increases again.
Now, there are a lot of things that can be modeled with this, let's assume that:
- y = distance to your house.
- x = time.
Let's invent a given situation:
In the beginning, you are at school, at a given distance from your house.
Then you go to the store, that is closer to your house (thus, the distance decreases).
Then you stay at the store for a while (this is the constant part).
Then you go to your friend's house, which is really far away from your house (this represents the part of the graph that increases, here we would have the distance to your house increasing), also because this is a linear increase, we can even say that you move with constant speed.
This is just a quick example of a situation that can be represented with the given graph.
