Question

3 complete the statement. the slope of the line for car a is less steep than the line for car b 4 complete the statement. car b travels farther than car a in a given time t 5 calculate the slope of the line for car a. slope = (1 - 0)/(1 - 0) = 1 6 calculate the slope of the line for car b. slope = (2 - 0)/(1 - 0) = 2

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Slope Formula

The slope formula is \( m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \). For Car B, the points are \((0,0)\) and \((1,2)\) (since when \(x = 0\), \(y = 0\); when \(x = 1\), \(y = 2\)).

Step2: Apply Slope Formula

Substitute \(y_2 = 2\), \(y_1 = 0\), \(x_2 = 1\), \(x_1 = 0\) into the formula: \( m=\frac{2 - 0}{1 - 0}=\frac{2}{1}=2 \).

Answer:

The slope of the line for Car B is 2.
