Brainilest please! :)

Answer 2

Answer with explanation:

  Speed

              $=\frac{\text{Distance traveled}}{\text{Time taken}}$

When you will observe the graph

Time is represented on X axis

And , Distance traveled is represented on Y axis.

In 5 hours ,Henry travels a distance of 300 miles.

So, in 1 hour distance traveled by Henry

     $=\frac{300}{5}\\\\=60$ miles

So, Speed of Henry

$=60 \frac{miles}{hour}$

Speed can be calculated by this method also

 $=\frac{\text{Difference in two y values lying on the straight line}}{\text{Corresponding x values}}\\\\=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\\\\=\frac{300-0}{5-0}\\\\=60 \frac{miles}{hour}$

Option D: 60 miles per hour
