Travel Graphs Theory

\textbf{Example}\\ Here is a distance-time graph for a car journey.\\ \textbf{i)} Calculate the speed of the car in the first 40 minutes.\\ \textbf{ii)} Calculate the speed of the car in the last 40 minutes.\\ \begin{center} \begin{tikzpicture}[     ] \def \domain{0:50}  \def \xmax{110} \def \xmin{0} \def \ymax{110} \def \ymin{0} \def \xlabel{\text{ minutes}} \def \ylabel{\text{ km}}  \begin{axis}[         axis y line=left,         axis x line=bottom,         axis line style={shorten >=-10pt, shorten <=-10pt,-Stealth,very thick},         grid=both, %major,         major grid style={line width=1pt,draw=black!70},         ylabel = $\ylabel$,         xlabel = $\xlabel$,         width=2.5in, height=2.5in,         ymin=\ymin, ymax=\ymax,         xmin=\xmin, xmax=\xmax,         minor x tick num=4,         minor y tick num=4,         axis line style = thick,         major tick style = thick,         minor tick style = thick,         xtick distance = 2,         xlabel style={below},         ytick distance = 2,         ylabel style={above},         x grid style={thin, opacity=0.4},         y grid style={thin, opacity=0.4},         axis on top=false,         xtick={0,20,40,...,100,120},         xticklabels={{},20,40,...,100,{}},         ytick={0,20,40,...,100,120},          yticklabels={{},20,40,...,100,{}},        extra x ticks={0},         extra x tick style={xticklabel style={anchor=north east}}     ] %FUNCTION \draw [draw=black,thin, opacity=0.5] (\xmin,\ymin) rectangle (\xmax,\ymax); \draw [draw=black,thick] (0,0)--(40,40)--(60,40)--(100,100); \end{axis} \end{tikzpicture} \end{center} \textbf{Example solution}\\ \(\begin{aligned} \textbf{i) } & \begin{aligned}[t] 40 \text { minutes } & =\frac{40}{60} \text { hours } \\ & =\frac{2}{3} \text{ hr} . \end{aligned}\\ &\begin{aligned} \text { Speed } & =\frac{\text { Distance }}{\text { Time }} \quad\left(S=\frac{D}{T}\right) \\ S & =\frac{40}{\frac{2}{3}} \\ & =60 \text{~km} / \text{h} . \end{aligned} \end{aligned}\)\\ \textbf{ii) } \(\begin{aligned}[t] \text { speed } & =(100-40) \div \frac{2}{3} \\ & =60 \div \frac{2}{3} \\ & =90 \text{~km} / \text{h} . \end{aligned}\)
