Answer :
A) 0.1 mile per minute
Explanation:
From physics we know that distance, time and speed are related by the following equation:
[tex]s=\frac{d}{t} \\ \\ s:Speed \\ \\ d:distance \\ \\ t:time[/tex]
So we can write the distance as:
[tex]d=st[/tex]
Here we have a line that passes through the origin and whose independent variable is t and dependent variable is d and the slope is s. From the graph, we can calculate the equation of the line as:
[tex]y=mx \\ \\ Finding \ slope \ m: \\ \\ m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}} \\ \\ (x_{1},y_{1})=(0,0) \\ \\ (x_{2},y_{2})=(10,1) \\ \\ m=\frac{1-0}{10-0} \\ \\ m=\frac{1}{10}[/tex]
So:
[tex]y=\frac{1}{10}x \\ \\ y=0.1x[/tex]
As you can see from the graph:
- y is related to distance (d)
- x is related to time (t)
Therefore, we can rewrite our equation as:
[tex]d=0.1t[/tex]
Finally, the speed (s) is:
[tex]s=0.1mile \ per \ minute[/tex]
