Mickey is traveling at a constant speed on his bicycle. The graph shows how d, the total distance traveled, depends on t, the time in hours.

Question

The graph titled Bike Trip reading shows distance traveled in miles on the vertical axis labeled d and time in hours on the horizontal axis labeled t. A line passing through (0, 0) and (1, 12), is shown.

What can be concluded from the information on the graph?

A.
Mickey is riding at a speed of 11 miles per hour.

B.
Mickey rode a total of 12 miles.

C.
Mickey rode a total of 11 miles.

Answer 1

From the information described about the graph, we can interpret the following:

• The line passes through the points (0, 0) and (1, 12). This means that at time \( t = 1 \) hour, the distance \( d \) is 12 miles.
• Since Mickey starts at the origin (0, 0) and the line is straight, this indicates constant speed.

To determine the speed, we can calculate it using the formula:

\[ \text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} \]

Here, the distance is 12 miles and the time is 1 hour:

\[ \text{Speed} = \frac{12 \text{ miles}}{1 \text{ hour}} = 12 \text{ miles per hour} \]

Based on this information, the correct conclusion is:

D. Mickey is riding at a speed of 12 miles per hour.
