Answer:

D) yellow car, blue car, red car

Explanation:

Since, the linear equation that shows the motion of an object moving with the constant speed is,

y = mx

Where,

slope of the line, m = speed of the object

Thus, slope ∝ speed,

i.e. the slope of the line representing motion of a car with the higher speed will be higher,

Here, Speed of,

yellow car = 40 mph,

blue car = 50 mph,

red car = 60 mph,

∵ 60 > 50 > 40

Hence, the order of the slopes of the lines representing the cars from the least to greatest would be,

yellow car, blue car, red car

OPTION D is correct.
