Question

PLEASE HELP! Will mark Brainliest with 20 points!

The table shows how far Object 1 traveled as a function of time.

*Time (seconds) - 2 4 6 8

*Distance traveled (feet) - 18 36 54 72

The equation shows how far Object 2 traveled in feet as a function of time in minutes.

*f(x) = 10x

Which object traveled at a faster speed? Justify your response.

Answer 1

Answer:

Object 2 > Object 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is the speed so we need to find the slope of object 1

Using the points (2,18) and (8,72)

slope = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

          = (72-18)/ (8-2)

           =54/6

            =9

Object 2 has a slope of 10

10>9

Object 2 > Object 1
