On a graph with x cordinates from 0 to 6 and y cordinates from 0 to 6y being distance in Feet and x being tim in seconds

Point A is 0,6 Point B is 0,6 and Point C is 0,3
Which of these objects is moving at a rate of 2 feet per second
A. Object B
B. Object C
C. Object A
D. All of the objects

1 answer

To determine which object is moving at a rate of 2 feet per second, we need to analyze the coordinates provided.

The coordinates given are:

  • Point A: (0, 6)
  • Point B: (0, 6)
  • Point C: (0, 3)

In this case, the x-coordinate represents time in seconds, and the y-coordinate represents distance in feet.

  • Point A and Point B are both at (0, 6), meaning that both start at a distance of 6 feet at time 0 seconds and are not moving; they remain at the same position over time as there are no additional x-coordinates indicating movement.
  • Point C is at (0, 3), meaning it starts at a distance of 3 feet at time 0 seconds and, like A and B, does not show any x-coordinates indicating movement over time.

Since none of the points indicate a change in distance as time increases, none of the objects can be said to be moving at any positive rate, including 2 feet per second.

So the correct answer is: None of the objects are moving at a rate of 2 feet per second.

However, if this is a multiple-choice question and I have to select from the given options, the best interpretation would be that the correct answer is: None of the objects (if that choice were offered).

In a format of A, B, C, or D as provided:

  • A. Object B - Incorrect
  • B. Object C - Incorrect
  • C. Object A - Incorrect
  • D. All of the objects - Incorrect

If forced to choose from the given options, the answer would still stand as none are correct for moving at 2 feet per second.
