Question

If Jake is skiing at 4.5km at week 6 which statement is true?

He is above his goal

He is at his goal

He is below his goal

Answer 1

He is below his goal

Explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

Let

x -----> the number of weeks

y ---->skiing distance in kilometers

Looking at the graph of Jake's goal

we have the ordered pair (6,5)

That means

The number of kilometers from Jake's goal for week 6 is 5 kilometers

and

In the actual Jake is skiing at 4.5 km at week 6

so

`4.5\ km < 5\ km`

therefore

He is below his goal
