(EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWER!!!!!)

This graph shows the time and distance traveled for two objects.

Which statement is true?
A) Object 2 travels 6/5 of a foot more per minute than object 1.
B) Object 2 travels 5/6 of a foot more per minute than object 1.
C) Object 1 travels 6/5 of a foot more per minute than object 2.
D) Object 1 travels 5/6 of a foot more per minute than object 2.

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

1. First find the slope of the two graphs

#1 = 4.5/3

#2 = 2/3

2. Convert the fractions to a denominator of 6

#1 = 9/6

#2 = 4/6

3. Subtract them

9/6 - 4/6 = 5/6

So the answer is D
