The speed (slope) of Bike 1 is Response area.

The speed (slope) of Bike 2 is Response area

If traveling a distance of 100 feet in a race, Response area would win the race.

To answer the question about the speed (slope) of each bike based on the distance graph, we need to analyze the graph itself.

  1. The speed (slope) of Bike 1 is: This should be the value representing the rise over the run for Bike 1's line on the graph. If you have the coordinates of two points on Bike 1's line, you can calculate the slope using the formula:

    \[ \text{Slope} = \frac{\text{change in distance}}{\text{change in time}} = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \]

  2. The speed (slope) of Bike 2 is: Similarly, calculate the slope for Bike 2 using its two points from the graph using the same formula.

  3. If traveling a distance of 100 feet in a race,: Compare the speeds of both bikes calculated before. The bike with the higher speed will reach 100 feet first and thus would win the race.

Please provide the specific values or points from the graph to enable more detailed calculations.
