Question

The graph shows the relationship between the number of minutes Maria spent jogging on a treadmill and the distance she jogged.

A graph titled Miles on the Treadmill. The x-axis shows number of minutes, numbered 5 to 45, and the y-axis shows distance in miles, numbered 1 to 9. A straight line with a positive slope begins at point (0, 0) and ends at point (45, 4.5).
What was her speed?

0.1 miles per minute

Answer 2

0.1 miles per minute

The line goes through (0, 0), so Maria's speed is the ratio of miles to minutes:

(4.5 mi)/(45 min) = 0.1 mi/min
