Dorrian graphed the distance, y, traveled by 2 bikes in x seconds.

Question

(3 points)

The speed (slope) of Bike 1 is ____________.

The speed (slope) of Bike 2 is ____________.

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

OPTIONS: 4/5, 2/3, They would tie, Bike 2, 5/4, Bike 1, and 3/2

Answer 1

To determine the speed (slope) of Bike 1 and Bike 2, we need to find the slope of the lines represented for each bike on the graph. However, since I do not have the actual graph visible, I can guide you through the process of calculating the slope if you provide the coordinates of the points for each bike's distance traveled over time.

The slope is calculated using the formula:

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

If you can share the coordinates or the respective distances traveled over time for each bike, I can help you calculate the speeds (slopes).

Once we know the speeds, we can also determine which bike would win the race based on their respective speeds and the distance of 100 feet.

Please provide the necessary details, and I'll assist you further.

Answer 2

Bike 1

Bike 2

Answer 3

It seems like you mentioned "Bike 1" and "Bike 2" without providing additional details about their speeds, distances, or any graphical information. In order to calculate the slopes (speeds) and determine the winner of the race, I need specific information such as:

1. The distances traveled by each bike over a specific time period (e.g., coordinates like (0,0), (2,4) for Bike 1).
2. A comparison of the slopes based on the graph or any numerical data available.

If you can provide more information about the distances with respect to time for each bike, I would be more than happy to calculate the slopes and tell you which bike would win the race!
