=
60

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 equation for Car B from your message — could you either paste the equation or re-upload the image?

How to decide (so you can check quickly once you give Car B’s equation):
- Car A: rate = 60 miles/hour (coefficient of h); initial distance = 20 miles (constant term).
- Compare slopes (rates):
- If Car B’s slope = 60 → “Car A is traveling at the same rate as car B” is true.
- If Car B’s slope < 60 → “Car A is traveling at a faster rate than car B” is true.
- If Car B’s slope > 60 → “Car A is traveling at a slower rate than car B” is true.
- Compare intercepts (initial distances):
- If Car B’s intercept = 20 → “originally at the same distance” is true.
- If Car B’s intercept > 20 → “Car A is originally closer to San Francisco than car B” is true.
- If Car B’s intercept < 20 → “Car A is originally farther from San Francisco than car B” (that option isn’t listed).

Send the Car B equation and I’ll pick the two correct statements.
