Answer:

A) 0.4 km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the average speed of the car, we have to find the slope of the graph.

We start by locating points. From the graph;

  • (x, y) (0,0)
  • (x, y) (0,4)

Then we use the relationship:


m \: = \: (change \: in \: y)/(change \: in \: x)

Substituting our values;


m \: = ((4 \: - \: 0) \: km)/((10 \: - \: 0) \: hr ) \\ = 0.4 (km)/(hr)

Therefore, the average speed of the car is 0.4 km/hr. Hence the best choice is (A).
