Question

Jeremy and Cerardo run at constant speeds. Let x = time and y= distance. Assuming they run the same path, when will Jeremy catch up to Cerardo?

10 minutes
3 minutes
12 minutes
1 minute

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation: The answer is 12 minutes. It is because if you look at the graph the two lines intersect at 12.

Answer 2

Find the t-coordinate (horiz. coordinate) of the point at which the two lines intersect. The graph is clear enough to allow us to give the value of t as 12 minutes.
