Question

suppose you were to create a scatter plot of the data for speed and distance traveled. would you expect to see a positive, negative, or no relationship between the two variables. explain your answer.
a. negative relationship; as the speed decreases, the distance increases.
b. positive relationship; as the speed decreases, the distance increases.
c. positive relationship; as the speed increases, the distance increases.
d. no relationship.
please select the best answer from the choices provided

Explanation:

The formula for distance is $d = vt$ (where $d$ is distance, $v$ is speed and $t$ is time). Assuming time is non - zero and constant, when speed $v$ increases, distance $d$ increases. A positive relationship means that as one variable increases, the other variable also increases.

Answer:

C. positive relationship; as the speed increases, the distance increases.
