...please.? Katie drove to the lake for a weekend outing. The lake is 100 miles from her home. On the trip back, she drove for an hour, stopped for lunch for an hour, and then finished the trip home. How do I graph the best graph of her trip home and the distance from her home at various times?

x axis is time
y axis is distance
she starts off 100 miles from home, so at 0 (hours) she is 100 on the y axis. at an hour she had been driving home so the graph should be decreasing from 0 to 1 and from 1 to 2 it should be a straight line horizontally because she didnt move for an hour.(her distance didnt change) then just finish the graph going down until the y axis is at 0

(It doesnt tell you her rate of speed so the points can really be anywhere as long as those 2 points i told you are accurate)
