To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the woman's journey from her home to her office and back, and then plot the position-time graph based on her movements. ### Step 1: Determine the time taken to walk to the office - The woman walks from her home to her office, which is 2.5 km away, at a speed of 5 km/h. - Time taken (t) can be calculated using the formula: \[ t = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}} = \frac{2.5 \text{ km}}{5 \text{ km/h}} = 0.5 \text{ hours} = 30 \text{ minutes} \] ...
