Answer:

In a linear equation, like the ones in the graphs, the slope is equivalent to the rate of change. And we know that speed is defined as the rate of the position, thus the slope of these lines is exactly equal to the speed.

From this, we will see that the correct option is D.

Knowing this, two runners will have exactly the same speed if and only if both slopes (one for each runner) are exactly equal. This means that we will see two parallel lines.

This makes a lot of sense, because if they run at the same speed, then they will never meet (like two parallel lines), instead if they run at different speeds and the one that is behind runs faster, at some given point the one that goes last will reach the other, and in this point we would see that the lines intersect in the graph (like in options A, B, and C).

So from this we already can see the correct option, it is the graph with the two parallel lines, the graph D.

Why do historians need to study geography?
lisabon 2012 [21]
Geography influences our life now and it did so in the past. Because of this it helps understand the reasons for some events.

For example geography helps you understand why ancient Greece was composed of many small independent city-states rather than one empire: Greece is composed of many islands and valleys separated by mountains, and it was easy to defend those settlements so they were not conquered by other settlements ( as it was the case in other countries).

dezoksy [38]
Girls love when a guy is honest. I would ask her how she feels. Work is a way that she gets paid. She might just take her just seriously. Nothing against you. It’s better to just see what she really thinks rather than just going around it and find out in a couple weeks that she didn’t have interest In you like that. If she only works 4 hours on weekends maybe try to do something earlier in the day with her. Like go out to lunch or grab a coffee.
