Question

Graph B

Answer 1

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

Slope (m) = rise/run

y-intercept (b) = starting value or the point on the y-axis where the line cuts across

✔️Slope (m) of skater 1:

Rise = 45

Run = 7.5

Slope (m) = 45/7.5 = 6

✔️ y-intercept (b) of Skater 1:

b = 0 (the y-axis is intercepted at 0)

✔️Skater 1 linear function in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b

Substitute m = 6 and b = 0 into y = mx + b

Linear function: y = 6x + 0

y = 6x

✔️Slope (m) of skater 2:

Rise = 30

Run = 15

Slope (m) = 30/15 = 2

✔️ y-intercept (b) of Skater 2:

b = 0 (the y-axis is intercepted at 0)

✔️Skater 2 linear function in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b

Substitute m = 2 and b = 0 into y = mx + b

Linear function: y = 2x + 0

y = 2x
