the graph forms a rectangle triangle with 1 side measuring 40, and the other measuring 20, to find the surface of the triangle, wich represents the distance in meters, you do (40 X 20)/2 wich gives you 400 meters.

didnt you learn anything in physics class?
It's slowing down by 2 meters per second squared, not 2 m/s.

Edit: Luc beat me to it.
