Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

Given

Rate = 0.75m/s

d = distance

t = time

Required

Select the graph that represents the given relationship

The option showing the graphs is missing. So, I'll answer the question from scratch.

We have that.

Rate = d/t (i.e. distance/time)

Substitute 0.75 for Rate

0.75 = d/t

Make d the subject

d = 0.75t

To plot the graph, we assume values for time (t)

Take t = 1

d = 0.75 * 1

d = 0.75

Take t = 6

d = 0.75 * 6

d = 4.50

So, we'll plot the graph at points

(1,0.75) and (6,4.50)

See attachment for graph
