Question

The graph shows the distance $y$ (in miles) that a bus travels in $x$ hours. Find and interpret the slope of the line.

The slope of the line is (Answer here)

. The bus is traveling at a speed of (Answer here)

miles per hour.

Answer 1

Slope= 30

Speed = 30 miles per hour

Explanation:

Given two points the slope will be change in y over change in x

OR (y-y1)/(x-x1)

(120-60)/(2-1) = 60/2 = 30miles/hr
