Question

The graph of the distance a car travels at a constant speed passes through the points (0,0) and 2,136). The x scale is hours and the y scale is miles. How fast is the car traveling?
A. 134 miles per hour
B. 68 miles per hour
C. 34 miles per hour
D. 136 miles per hour

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

We are given that

y-scale is a distance in miles

x-scale is a time in hours

and we are given

The graph of the distance a car travels at a constant speed passes through the points (0,0) and (2,136)

so, points would be

(0,0)

x1=0 , y2=0

(2,136)

x2=2 , y2=136

so, slope would be speed

because speed = distance / time

we can use slope formula

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

now, we can plug values

$m=\frac{136-0}{2-0}$

$m=68$ miles per hour

so, option-B..........Answer
