The graph is attached
In 1 second the dolphin will swim 11 meters
How to make the graph
To make the graph we require the equation of the relation
Since the relationship between time and distance is proportional, we can represent it with the equation:
distance (d) = speed (s) * time (t)
We know that the dolphin swims for 5 seconds and covers a distance of 55 meters. Substituting these values into the equation:
55 = s / 5
s = 55 / 5 = 11 meters per second
So, the speed of the dolphin is 11 meters per second.
To find how far the dolphin swims in 1 second, substitute (t = 1) into the equation:
d = 11 * 1 = 11
Therefore, the dolphin swims 11 meters in 1 second.
For the graph, let
d = y (output values)
s = k (constant of proportionality)
t = x (input values)
y = 11x
