Answer:
Bus B travel faster
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph of the question in the attached figure
we know that
the linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to
where
m is the slope
b is the y-intercept
x ---> is the time in hours
y ---> is the distance in miles
In this problem we have
Bus A
The slope of the linear equation represent the speed of the bus
so
The speed of bus A is
Bus B
Find the slope
take two points from the graph
(0,0) and (3,200)
The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to
substitute
Compare the slope Bus A with the slope Bus B
therefore
Bus B travel faster
