Answer:
Kerri's speed = 50 mile per hour. Therefore option (D) is true.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the distance-time graph
It is clear from the distance-time graph that:
- at Time = 1 hour, Distance = 50 miles
- at Time = 2 hours, Distance = 100 miles
so the two points on the distance-time graph is:
Finding the slope between the points to determine the speed.
Please note that the slope between the points represents the speed or rate of change.
Speed = Rate of change = y₂-y₁ / x₂-x₁
= 100 - 50 / 2-1
= 50 / 1
= 50 miles per hour
Thus, Kerri's speed = 50 mile per hour. Therefore option (D) is true.
