I can’t see the image you mentioned. Could you either upload the graph or paste the long description (the “Click for Long Desc” text)?
If you prefer to solve it yourself, here are the steps to find the runner who finishes second:
1. Identify the finish line value on the vertical axis (the y-value that represents the finish).
2. For each runner’s line, read or compute the time (x-value) when that line reaches the finish y-value. If needed, write the line as y = m·x + b and solve for x when y = finish.
3. Order those times from smallest (first place) to largest (last place). The second smallest time is second place.
Send the graph or its description and I’ll compute the answer.
