b) Find the equation of the following quadratic graph.

 22) A walker leaves his house at 10 00 and walks towards a shopping centre at a constant
speed of 5 km/h. A cyclist leaves the same house 10 minutes later. He travels along the same road
at a constant speed of 20 km/h until he reaches the shopping centre which is 6 km from the house.

same road at a constant speed of 20 km/h.

time graph for the cyclist.
