Question

2. Mario measured the depth of the river as a function of time and graphed his findings. Use this graph to answer the following question.

What is the minimum depth of the river that Mario measured?


A. 1 meter


B. 9 minutes


C. 22 minutes


D. 10 meters

Answer 1

A. 1 meter

Explanation:

The minimum depth would be the lowest number or the shallowest part of the river. Since we are looking for the minimum depth we can rule out B. and C. becuase those are time. This leaves A. and D. It cannot be D. because that would be the deepest (maximum) part of the river. This leaves A. 1 meter as your answer.
