Answer:

c. In 2 seconds, the commuter train travels 120 feet.

Explanation:

Given

The attached graph

Required

What does x-coordinate of 2 represents

Represent this coordinate with (x,y)

From the graph:


x = 2 when
y = 120

Note that:

x = time and y = distance

So:


(x,y) = (2,120)

Which means:

At 2 seconds, the train has travelled a distance of 120ft

From the list of options, (c) is correct
