Question

The graph shows the number of laps that Jan runs as her coach times her.

Answer 1

The slope of the line is +2

this means that Jan runs 2 laps every 1 minute

Answer 2

Answer:

The slope of the line is 2. It means Jan runs 2 laps every minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given graph it is noticed that the line passing through the points (2,4) and (5,10).

The slope of lines is

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

The slope of given line is

$m=\frac{10-4}{5-2}$

$m=\frac{6}{3}$

$m=2$

The slope of the line is 2.

In the given graph x axis represents the time in min and y-axis represents the laps run. The slope defines the number of laps in each minute.

The slope is 2, it means Jan runs 2 laps every minute.
