Answer:

Option (C)

Option (C)

Option (A)

Explanation:

Part A.

Frank's walking speed can be represented by the equation.

Equation representing the speed is,

y = 85x


(y)/(x)=85

Therefore, walking speed of Frank = 85 meters per minute.

Option (C) will be the answer.

Part B.

Distance walked over the time by Jeffrey is given by the graph attached.

Equation for the speed will be,

y =
((400)/(5))x

y = 80x

Therefore, walking speed of Jeffrey = 80 meters per minute

Difference in the speed of Frank and Jeffrey = 85 - 80 = 5 meters per minute.

Jeffery walks 5 meters per minute slower than Frank.

Option (C) will be the answer.

Part (C)

Distance traveled by Frank in 16 minutes,

y = 85(16) = 1360 meters

Time taken to travel the same distance by Jeffrey will be,

1360 = 80x

x =
(1360)/(80)=17 meters per minute

Option (A) will be the answer.
