The steeper the line is (the larger the slope), the faster the speed is. This is due to the fact that speed=distance/time and the slope=y/x which is distance over time on a distance v time graph.

The answer is:
The quadratic function that fits the given picture is:

<h2>
Why?</h2>
We can solve the problem and find the correct function that fits the curve below by finding which function intercepts the y-axis at -5 (we can see it from the picture), also, we need to look for a function that represents a parabola opening upwards. We need to remember that when a parabola is opening upwards, its quadratic term coefficient is negative.
So, we can see that from the given functions, the only function that represents a parabola opening upwards and its y-intercept is located at y equal to -5 is the second option:

We have that :

We can see that the quadratic term (a) is negative, and the quadratic function intercepts the y-axis at y equal to -5.
Hence, the answer is:
The quadratic function that fits the given picture is:

Have a nice day!
Note: I have attached a picture for better understanding.
Let,
the bigger number be "x"
the smaller number be "y"
Now, according to the question,
x + y = 24...........equation (1).............because the sum of numbers is 24
x - y = 15 .............equation (2)..................because their difference is 15
Taking equation (2),
x - y = 15
x = 15 + y ....................equation (3)
Now, Taking equation (1)
x + y = 24
(Substituting the value of "x" form equation (3) we get)
15 + y + y = 24
(Subtracting 15 on both sides, we get)
y + y = 24 - 15
2y = 9
y = 9 / 2
y = 4.5
Now,
Taking equation (3)
x = 15 + y
(Substituting the value of y , we get)
x = 15 + 4.5
x = 19.5
So, the two numbers are 19.5 and 4.5
