Answer: The relationship between distance and time is
and the graph is continuous.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of hours he hiked = 2 hours

Distance covered = 5 miles

Speed would be

$(Distance)/(Time)\\\\=(5)/(2)\\\\=2.5\ mph$

Let the distance be 'd'.

Let the time be 't'.

so, the relation between distance and time would be

$distance=Speed* time\\\\d=2.5t$

The graph is continuous because it is not based on counts and the points are connected with a continuous line without any break.

Hence, the relationship between distance and time is
and the graph is continuous.
