Question

A graph titled position versus time has an horizontal axis time (seconds) and a vertical axis position (meters). A straight line passes from 0 seconds, 0 meters to 5 seconds, 20 meters.

Calculate the slope of the line on the graph using the formula:

m = m = v subscript 2 - v subscript 1 over x subscript 2 minus x subscript 1.

Answer 1

4

Explanation:

You want to take the farthest coordinates ( 16/4 ), the closest coordinates to 0 ( 4/1 ), and then subtract to get 12m/3s, then divide 12m by 3s to get 4m/s.

Remember to solve for Slope is SUBTRACTING then dividing.

I hope this helps!!

Answer 2

The Answer is 4 meters per second
