Question

#1.) What does the graph tell you about the delivery truck’s ride? Use information from the graph to support your answer.

#2 What is the average rate of change from 1.5 hours to 2 hours? What does this average rate of change represent within the context of this problem?

Answer 1

#1 The graph illustrates a continuous increase in the delivery truck's distance over time, implying a smooth and consistent ride. #2 The average rate of change from 1.5 to 2 hours indicates the truck's speed, representing the distance covered per hour in this time interval.

#1 The graph indicates a steady increase in the distance traveled by the delivery truck over time. As time progresses, the distance covered by the truck consistently rises, implying a continuous and smooth ride.

#2 The average rate of change from 1.5 hours to 2 hours is calculated by finding the slope of the line connecting the two points on the graph. Using the formula (change in distance)/(change in time), the average rate of change represents the truck's speed during this time interval, indicating the distance covered per hour.
