Abigail travels from home to a shop. The distance-time graph shows her journey to the shop and the time she spends there. She then travels home in 25 minutes at a constant speed. We need to determine which of the lines A, B, C, or D correctly represents Abigail's journey home on the distance-time graph.

1. Problem Description

Abigail travels from home to a shop. The distance-time graph shows her journey to the shop and the time she spends there. She then travels home in 25 minutes at a constant speed. We need to determine which of the lines A, B, C, or D correctly represents Abigail's journey home on the distance-time graph.

2. Solution Steps

The problem states that Abigail travelled home in 25 minutes at a constant speed. Her journey home starts at the shop, which is 4 km away from her home. Therefore, the line representing her journey home must start at a distance of 4 km and end at a distance of 0 km after 25 minutes.
The time when she starts her return journey is at 10 minutes (from the graph). Thus she would arrive home 25 minutes later at the time of 10+25=3510 + 25 = 35 minutes. We need to find a line that starts at the point (10 minutes, 4 km) and ends at (35 minutes, 0 km). By looking at the graph, we see that line D satisfies these conditions.
