A swimmer is racing to the other side of the pool. The pool is 75 feet long. The swimmer travels 2.5 feet per second. Create a table, equation, and graph to represent the swimmer's distance to the other side of the pool with relation to time. When will the swimmer reach the other side of the pool?

Answer 1

d = Vt.

d = 2.5 * t.

(t, d). t=time in sec. d=dist.in ft.
