Answer:
(A) 46 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
You can arrive at an answer to this question at least two ways:
1)
Read the time from the graph.
Locate 144 on the vertical scale, just below halfway from 140 to 150. Locate the point on the graph that is at this vertical height. It is a little more than halfway between 40 and 50 on the horizontal scale.
The only answer choice in that neighborhood is t = 46 seconds.

2)
Use the given formula, and solve it for the time.
d = 1.5t +75
144 = 1.5t +75 . . . the distance of interest is 144
69 = 1.5t . . . . . . . .subtract 75
69/1.5 = t = 46 . . . seconds
