The graph shown describes $Frank$ 's distance from home throughout his journey.

	Distance From Home
Distance(km)	Loading Graph... 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.
	Time (am)

How far was $Frank$ from home when he started driving at $5$5 am?

How far was he from home by $7$7 am?

How long did he take to rest?

How far did he travel between $7$7 am and $9$9 am?

Was $Frank$ travelling faster in the first two hours (between $5$5 am and $7$7 am) or the last two hours (between $8$8 am and $10$10 am) of his trip?
