For a graph showing a car's distance over time, the rate of change is the car's A speed.
When the car is speeding up, the rate of change is shown on the graph as an upward D curve (indicating that distance is increasing at an increasing rate).
So the completed sentences would be:
- For a graph showing a car's distance over time, the rate of change is the car's A speed.
- When the car is speeding up, the rate of change is shown on the graph as an upward D curve.
Thus, the answers are A and D.
