At midnight, the depth of snow on a road is 5 cm. The snow falls at a steady rate and the depth increases by 1.5 cm per hour until 6 am, when it stops. At 9 am the snow starts to melt, so the depth decreases at a constant rate and by 7 pm, the road is clear. A graph of the depth of snow (in cm) against time since midnight is shown below. The horizontal scale is marked in hours using the 12 hour clock. Depth (cm) 4 14 12- 10- 8 6- 4 2 2pm Time (hours) брт 2am 6am 10am Choose the TWO correct options about this graph from the following list. Select one or more: O The gradient of the line between midnight and 6 am represents the time when the snow started to fall. The intercept on the horizontal axis represents the depth of snow at midnight. Between the times of 9 am and 7 pm, the gradient of the line is positive. The maximum depth of snow was 15 cm. The line is horizontal between the times of 6 am and 9 am. Between 9 am and 7 pm, the gradient of the line is about -1.4 cm/h. From midnight to 6 am, the gradient of the line is 5 cm/h. O O C
