Question

The proportional relation between distance traveled and the amount of time is shown in the following picture.Which of the statements is true?A. The y coordinate of point A represents the distance traveled in 4 hours.B. The distance traveled in 1 hour is 60 kilometres.C. It is impossible to determine the distance if we have traveled zero hours.D. None of these is correct.

Answer 1

D. None of these is correct.​

Step-by-step explanation

We want to determine the statement that is true among the options.

A. "The y coordinate of point A represents the distance traveled in 4 hours."

From the graph, we see that the coordinates of point A are (5, 400). This implies that in 5 hours, the distance traveled was 400 kilometers.

Hence, this statement is not true.

B. "The distance traveled in 1 hour is 60 kilometers."

From the graph, we see that in 1 hour, the distance traveled is a little over 75 kilometers (approximately 80 kilometers)

Hence, this statement is not true.

C. "It is impossible to determine the distance if we have traveled zero hours."

The graph represents a proportional relationship, and as we can see, it starts from the origin (0, 0). This implies that in 0 hours, the distance traveled is 0 kilometers. So, it is not impossible to determine the distance if we have traveled zero hours.

Hence, this statement is not true.

As we can see, none of the statements are true. The correct option is option D.
