Answer

The graphs require computing the time when $v=0,$ in which case, we use $v=v_{0}+$ $a t^{\prime}=0 .$ Thus, $x=-\frac{v_{0}^{2}}{2 a}=-\frac{(5.00 \mathrm{\ m} / \mathrm{s})^{2}}{2\left(1.67 \mathrm{\ m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\right)}=-7.50 \mathrm{m}$ indicates the moment the car was at rest. SI units are understood. see the image below :
