Answer 1

Since the bear can travel at a rate of 15 mph for longer periods of time, the graph representing this would be a straight line at a constant distance of 15 miles per hour. This indicates that the distance traveled is the same for every unit of time.

The correct graph would be a horizontal line at a distance of 15 miles per hour.
