Explanation:

Please find the attachment.

Let x be the number of hours the student swims per day.

We have been that a student swims one hour every day, so in 2 months the student will swim 60 hours.

We are also told that the student swims 800 meters each day. This means that slope of the graph that represents the total meters swam during the time of her training program will be 800.

So in 60 days the student will swim
60* 800=48,000\text{ meters}.

We can see from our attached graph that at x equals 60 our y is approximately 48.

Since y-axis represents the number of meters in thousands, so 48 stands for 48,000.

Therefore, attached graph is the right choice.
