Question

Lin's mom bikes at a constant speed of 12 miles per hour. Lin walks at a constantspeed 1/3 of the speed her mom bikes. Sketch a graph of both of these relationships

Answer 1

The graph is :

EXPLANATION :

From the problem we have the rates :

Lin's mom : 12 miles per hour

Lin : 1/3 of Lin's mom, that will be 12(1/3) = 4 miles per hour

Plot the points as (hour, miles).

(1, 12) and (1, 4)

Connect the points with the origin (0, 0)

That will be :

The black line represents Lin's mom and the orange line represents Lin.
