A biker is participating in a fundraiser bike ride. The graph displays the distance the biker travels over time as he rides. Describe the graph.

• The distance traveled decreases at a constant rate. Then the biker stops at a rest station for a short time. Then the biker rides along the route at a constant rate, increasing the distance traveled. Finally, the biker stops for the day.

• The biker begins biking along the route at a constant rate. Then the distance traveled decreases at a constant rate. Then the biker continues along the route at a constant rate. Finally, the biker stops for the day.

• The distance traveled remains the same. Then the biker rides along the route at a constant rate. Then the biker stops at a rest station for a short time. Then the biker continues along the route at a constant rate. Finally, the biker stops for the day.

• The biker begins biking along the route at a constant rate. Then the biker stops at a rest station for a short time. Then the distance traveled increases steadily again. The biker stops at another rest station. Then the biker continues on the route one more time at a steady rate. Finally, the biker stops for the day.
