Question

A graph titled Position versus Time shows time in seconds on the x axis, numbered 0 to 5, and position in meters on the y axis, numbered 0 to 15. The graph is a straight line from the (0, 3) to (4, 15).
Based on the information presented in the graph, what is the velocity of the object?



m/s

Answer 1

3 m/s

Explanation: velocity = slope = (15 m − 3 m) / (4 s − 0 s) = 12 m / 4 s = 3 m/s.
