Answer:
B. Every point on the line is an equivalent ratio.
C. As the line goes up, the speed increases.
D. Simone can pick any ratio on the line and she will be swimming at a rate of 2 mph.
Explanation:
If the line on the graph has equivalent ratio, it shows that the Simone swim at the speed of 2 mph. If the line on the graph goes up , it means the speed of swimming increases while when the line on the graph goes down, the swimming speed decreases so maintaining the speed of 2 mph, the line have to go horizontally in straight line. If Simone can pick any ratio on the line present on the graph so she has to swimming at a rate of 2 mph.
