I still don't understand where I went wrong but I've got no one to ask and my mock is on Monday!! HELP!1579891776292160193904.jpg

Is this the only information given about the problem?

What you have calculated is the "average speed" between start (0 sec) and 6 sec. Also you did not include unit in your answer.

If the graph is the only information given to you, then I read distances at times very near to 6 sec (for example 5.6 sec and 6.4 sec) and then calculate the average speed within that time period.

I don't get it.

The speed at 6 seconds would be the slope of the tangent to the graph at that point. Either use points on the curve near there to estimate the slope (average speed) between those points, or hold a ruler tangent to the curve and calculate the slope of the line you drew.

What topics have you been learning that this would be intended to test? If I knew that, I would have a better idea what to suggest that you would understand.

I've marked this topic "unsolved" so you should be able to now mark it as "solved" when you are ready.
