A position-time graph for a particle moving along the x axis is shown in the figure below. x (m) 12 10 8 6 4 t (s) 1 3 4 (a) Find the average velocity in the time interval t = 2.00 s to t = 3.00 s. (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) m/s

A coordinate plane has a horizontal axis labeled t (s) and a vertical axis labeled x (m). There are two curves graphed on the plane.

• The first is a straight line which runs from (0,13.3) to (3.5,0). 
• The second is a curve which begins at (1,11), moves down and to the right with a slope that becomes gradually less steep until it is horizontal at approximately (4,2), then moves upward and to the right with an increasing slope until it ends at approximately (6.5,7).

The two curves meet at approximately (2,6.0).
