question 3 of 6 (4 points) | question attempt: 3 of unlimited
distance (miles)
time (hours)
(a) what is the distance traveled at 0 hours?
miles
(b) what is the distance traveled at 1 hour?
miles
(c) how much does the distance increase for each hour since jim crossed the bridge?
miles

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the graph at x = 0

When x (time) is 0 hours, looking at the graph, the y - value (distance) is 0 miles.

Step2: Analyze the graph at x = 1

When x = 1 hour, by observing the graph, the y - value is 75 miles.

Step3: Find the rate of change

The graph is a straight - line, and the rate of change (slope) represents the increase in distance per hour. Since the line passes through (0,0) and (1,75), the increase in distance per hour is 75 miles.

Answer:

(a) 0 miles
(b) 75 miles
(c) 75 miles
