Yes the graph does increase when the spaceship moves downwards. This is so because when the spaceship moves down it is going further away from the x. And as it goes down the distance increases causing the graph to move upwards. No, there is not any piece of the graph that is a horizontal line. I would know that I had reached planet x because the graph would have been at the lowest point. Because as you get closer to the planet the graph will decrease because the distance decreases as well.
 * Does your graph ever increase? Explain.
 * Is there any piece of the graph that is a horizontal line? Identify the domain where this happens and give 2 scenarios that explain what the spaceship was doing at this time.
 * Without the cartoon planets, only having the graph, how would you know you had reached planet x?
 * How far did the spaceship have to travel to reach planet x?

The spaceship started off with the distance of 90, and as the spaceship moved closer to the planet the graph decreased because of the decrease in distance. However when the spaceship traveled downwards, the graph went up due to increase of distance of the spaceship to the planet. But after as the spaceship got closer to the planet the graph just decreased from there until the planet was reached.
 * Describe the travel pattern of the spaceship. Be sure to include specific distance and time measurements to make your story clearer.

I tried to make the graphs the same by remembering that if the spaceship went down then the graph would go up, and if the spaceship got closer to the planet then the graph would go down.
 * Below the screenshot, discuss some of the techniques you had to use in trying to make the graphs representing the two spaceships match up.
