Question

How does the distance traveled and time elapsed compare for Carrie and Kevin as they traveled from mile marker 225 to mile marker 230?

Answer 1

This implies that they traveled the same distance and they spend the same amount of time from 225 to 230 mile marker

Explanation:

Given

See attachment for graph

Required

Compare the distance and time travel

From the attached graph, we have the origin to be (0,0).

This represents the mile marker 225

Mile marker 230 is represented by point 5 on the y-axis.

Kevin's line at point 5 is represented as: (16,5)

Carrie's curve at point 5 is represented as: (16,5)

Both points are equal; i.e.

`(16,5) =(16,5)`

This implies that they traveled the same distance and they spend the same amount of time from 225 to 230 mile marker
