Question

A graph is constructed such that time (in hours)is the x-variable and distance (in miles) is the y-variable. If you plot the distance that the car travels on the graph traveling at a speed 60 miles per hour, what is the slope of the graph?

Answer 1

For every one mile (across) the line will go up 60. This line (from (0,0) ) is therefore y = 60x
