=

Which statements are true? Select TWO that apply.


Car A is traveling at the same rate, in miles per hour, as car B.


Car A is traveling at a faster rate, in miles per hour, than car B.


Car A is traveling at a slower rate, in miles per hour, than car B.


Car A is originally closer to San Francisco than car B.


Car A is originally at the same distance from San Francisco as car B.

Answer 1

I can't see the Car B line from "image.png." Could you upload the image or type Car B's equation or two points from its line?

How to answer once I have that:
- The car's rate (mph) is the slope (the coefficient of h). Car A's rate = 60 mph. Compare Car B's slope to 60:
- equal → "same rate"
- greater → "Car A is traveling at a slower rate"
- less → "Car A is traveling at a faster rate"
- The original distance (at h = 0) is the y‑intercept. Car A's intercept = 20 miles. Compare Car B's intercept to 20:
- equal → "originally at the same distance"
- less → "Car A is originally farther from SF" (so Car A was originally farther, i.e. Car B was originally closer)
- greater → "Car A is originally closer to SF"

Upload the image or give Car B's equation/points and I'll pick the two true statements.
