Time from 0 to 10 seconds is represented on the x axis of this graph. Distance from 0 to 15 meters is represented on the y-axis of this graph. A line extends from the point 0,0 to 10 on the x-axis and 15 on the y axis in a straight line.

To find the average speed of the marble, we can use the formula for average speed:
\[ \text{Average Speed} = \frac{\text{Total Distance}}{\text{Total Time}} \]
From the information provided, the marble travels a distance of 15 meters in a time of 10 seconds.
Applying the values to the formula:
\[ \text{Average Speed} = \frac{15 \text{ meters}}{10 \text{ seconds}} = 1.5 \text{ m/s} \]
Thus, the average speed of the marble is 1.5 m/s (or equivalently 1.5 meters per second).
