Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

If you turn -5/2 into a mixed fraction it becomes -2 and 1/2 witch is further away from 0 and -2 is closer to zero which means that it’s greater but the closer to zero will only work if the numbers are negative the closer to zero will not work with positive numbers

Look at the graph below measuring the speed of a truck and answers the following 2 question.

NemiM [27]

X would be equal to time and y be equal to distance

The y axis would be measuring distance and the x axis would be measuring time. Another name for a speed graph is the distance time graph. The y axis would be measuring the distance covered by the truck in meters and the x axis would be for the time it takes to reach that distance in second.

B) 2-6 would represent contact motion, meaning the vehicle is at rest. The time would be increasing from 2-6 to however the distance remains the same which is 20m
