Suppose a line graphed on a coordinate plane represents the distance traveled in miles by an automobile as a function of time in hours. Assuming that the Nationship between time and distance traveled is proportional, which of these statements is correct? Select one that applies

A. If the automobile was going 25 mph, the slope of the line is -1/25

B.If the automobile was going 30 mph, the slope of the line is 1/30

C.If the automobile was going 35 mph, the y-intercept of the line is 35.
D. If the automobile was going 40 mph, the y-intercept of the line is -1/40

E.If the automobile was going 45 mph, the y-intercept of the line is 1/45

F.If the automobile was going 50 mph, the slope of the line is 50.

The answer to the question which of these statements is correct is F. If the automobile was going 50 mph, the slope of the line is 50.

Since distance traveled in miles is graphed as a function of time in hours, this implies that distance is on the y-axis and time in hours is on the x-axis.

So, the slope of the graph is distance/time and its unit is miles/hour = miles per hour = mph.

This slope represents the speed of the automobile.

So an automobile going at 50 mph represent the slope of the line which is 50.

The answer to the question which of these statements is correct is F. If the automobile was going 50 mph, the slope of the line is 50.
