Question

Azul went for a bike ride through the mountains in North Carolina. use this graph to determine his average speed in miles per hour.

Answer 1

the answer is 14mph from the graph  thanks!

Answer 2

We know Speed =
`(Distance )/(time)`

Average speed =
`(Change in distance )/(change in time)`

Average speed is nothing but the slope

Now we find slope from the given graph

The graph starts at (0,0)

The bile reaches 14miles in 1 hour (1, 14)

We got two point (0,0) and (1,14)

Slope =
`(y_2 - y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`=
`(14 - 0)/(1-0)`

=
`(14)/(1)` = 14

So Average speed = 14 mph
