Question

A different ant and ladybug are a certain distance apart, and they start walking toward each other. The graph shows the ladybug’s distance from its starting point over time and the labeled point (2.5,10) indicates when the ant and the ladybug pass each other.

The ant is walking 2 centimeters per second.

Write an equation representing the relationship between the ant’s distance from the ladybug’s starting point and the amount of time that has passed.

Finish the graph.

Answer 1

The equation representing the relationship between the ant's distance and the time is distance = initial distance - (speed of the ant x time).

Step-by-step explanation:

To represent the relationship between the ant's distance from the ladybug's starting point and the time that has passed, we can use the equation:

distance = initial distance - (speed of the ant x time)

Using the given information that the ant is walking 2 centimeters per second, we can substitute this value into the equation to get:

distance = initial distance - (2 x time)

By substituting the appropriate values into the equation, you can complete the graph.
