Luke is swimming in still water at a constant speed of 3 meters/second. If you graph this relationship with time along the x-axis and distance along the y-axis, the slope of the line representing this relationship is? A point on this line that corresponds to the the distance Luke swam in 45 seconds is?
Accepted Solution
A:
The first thing you should know is that distance is defined as the product of speed over time. We have then: d = v * t Then, we know that: v = 3 m / s therefore, the slope of the line is: 3m / s For t = 45 seconds we have: d = v * t d = (3) * (45). d = 135 m The point is: (45, 135) answer: The slope of the line representing this relationship is: 3m / s A point on this line that corresponds to the distance Luke swam in 45 seconds is: (45, 135)
