A graph titled Cart Speed versus Time with elapsed time in seconds on the x axis, numbered 0 to 7, Speed on the y axis in centimeters per second, numbered 0 to 180. Line A has points (0, 0), (1, 20), (2, 38), (3, 55), (4, 72), (5, 90), (6, 110), (7, 125). Line B has points (0, 0), (1, 22), (2, 48), (3, 73), (4, 96), (5, 120), (6, 144). Line A has points (0,0 ), (1, 25), (2, 62), (3, 95), (4, 128), (5, 158).
The graph shows the speed of the cart with three different fan speeds.

Which line represents the cart with the greatest acceleration?

What is the fan speed for this cart?

Greatest acceleration: the steepest line — the one with points (0,0), (1,25), (2,62), (3,95), (4,128), (5,158).
- Acceleration ≈ 158/5 = 31.6 cm/s^2.
- Fan speed: highest (the high‑speed fan).

Least acceleration: the shallowest line — the one with points (0,0), (1,20), (2,38), (3,55), (4,72), (5,90), (6,110), (7,125).
- Acceleration ≈ 125/7 ≈ 17.9 cm/s^2.
- Fan speed: lowest (the low‑speed fan).

(For reference, the middle line with points (0,0),(1,22),(2,48),(3,73),(4,96),(5,120),(6,144) has acceleration ≈ 24 cm/s^2 — medium fan speed.)
