Question

HELP PLEASE AND THANK YOUMelinda and Paul ran in a marathon. this this graph shows the relationship between the distance and the time they each run. Melinda ran a constant speed of 5 mph. Paul ran at a ____ constant speed than Melinda. an equation that could represent the relationship between Paul's distance and his time is y = _____x, where x is the time in hours and y is the distance in miles Paul ran.THE ANSWER CHOICES ARE 1) FASTER OR SLOWER 2) 1 , 3 , 5 , 7 to complete the sentence !

Answer 1

When a line is steeper than other one it means it has a greater slope. In this case the slope represents the speed of Melinda and Paul. As shown in the picture, the line that represents Paul's movement has a greater slope than the one that represents Melinda's, it means Paul ran at a faster constant speed than Melinda.

If Melinda ran at a constant velocity of 5mph and Paul ran faster than her, an equation that could represent the relationship between Paul's distance an his time has to have a greater slope than 5, which is 7.
