Answer:

D.) 0 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a position versus time graph. These graphs compare the position of an object versus the elapsed time. You can find the velocity of position vs. time graphs by determining the slope between the two points.

The formula used to find slope is:

y₁ - y₂ = m(x₁ - x₂)

In this formula, "x₁" and "y₁" represent the values from one point, "x₂" and "y₂" represent the values from the second point, and "m" represents the slope.

If the first point, B, is at (1, 6) and the second point, C, is at (3, 6)...

6 - 6 = m(1 - 3) <----- Insert values from points

0 = m(-2) <----- Subtract

0 = m <----- Divide both sides by -2

In this case, the slope between point B and point C is 0. Thus, there is a constant velocity of 0 m/s between the points.
