Question

The graph shows the distances traveled by two cars over several hours. Which car is moving at a faster rate? Select from the drop-down menu to correctly complete the statement. Car Choose... is moving at a faster rate. Graph in the coordinate plane with title distance versus time. Vertical axis is labeled distance in miles. Horizontal axis is labeled time in hours. A ray labeled car A starts at point begin ordered pair 0 comma 0 end ordered pair and goes through point begin ordered pair 8 comma 5 end ordered pair. A ray labeled car B starts at point begin ordered pair 0 comma 0 end ordered pair and goes through point begin ordered pair 3 comma 7 end ordered pair.

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

Answer 2

A - Starts at (0, 0)

A - Ends at (8, 5)

B - Starts at (0, 0)

B - Ends at (3, 7)

A - X = 8 Y = 5

B - X = 3 Y = 7

The difference

A went 5 more then B did when comparing X, however, B's Y-Axis went further then A's Y-Axis

The distance

A

X Y

------------------

8 5

B

X Y

------------------

3 7

A - X = 1.6

B - X = 0.43
