Question

The graph below shows the distance, y, in miles, of a bee from its hive, for a certain amount of time, x, in minutes:Based on the graph, what is the initial value of the graph and what does it represent?

0.4 mile per minute; it represents the speed of the bee
0.4 mile; it represents the original distance of the bee from its hive
4 miles; it represents the original distance of the bee from its hive
4 miles per minute; it represents the speed of the bee

Answer 1

4 Miles; it represents the orginal distance of the bee form its hive
the line starting so high up means that that spot is the starting location of the bee

Answer 2

C. 4 miles; it represents the original distance of the bee from its hive

Explanation:

We are given,

The graph showing the distance between a bee hive for a certain amount of time.

Now, from the graph, we see that,

When the time is 0 mins, then the distance from the bee hive is 4 miles.

Thus, the initial value of the graph is 4 miles and it represents the original distance of the bee hive from the hive.

So, option C is correct.
