A Cartesian graph titled Distance From Home is displayed with the horizontal axis labeled Time (am) and the vertical axis labeled Distance (km). A piecewise linear graph is plotted in the Cartesian graph. The first point is located at coord(5, 5). Second point at coord(6, 15). Third point at coord(7, 30). Fourth point at coord(8, 30). Fifth point at coord(9, 40). And the last point at coord(10, 50). The coordinates are not explicitly shown on the graph.
