Question

A hiker follows a trail to the top of a mountain. The trail is 15 mi long. She hikes at a rate of 2.5 mph.

Which sketch represents that situation?

Answer 1

Graph 3 satisfy the slope condition of speed with Time 6 hours and Distance 15 miles

Explanation:

Given as :

The distance of trail is 15 miles

The Rate of hikes = 2.5 mph

So, Time taken = T

Now Time =
`(Distance)/(Speed)`

Or, Time =
`(15)/(2.5)`

Or, Time = 6 hours

So, The graph Between Distance and Time is

D = Speed × Time

Or, Speed is slope of the function

∴ Graph 3 satisfy the slope condition of speed with Time 6 hours and Distance 15 miles Answer
