(a) Let's look at the graph to find the relationship between D and T. We see that for every increase of 1 hour in T, there is a corresponding increase of 50 kilometers in D.
So, we can write the equation for this relationship as:
D = 50T
(b) The correct statement to represent this relationship is:
The boat is traveling 50 kilometers per hour.
A boat is traveling through the water. The graph below shows the relationship between the distance D (in kilometers) and the time T (in hours) the boat has traveled.
