The distance a sloth travels per minute can be determined by finding the slope of the line that connects the points (0,0) and (1.5,9).
Using the slope formula:
slope = (change in y)/(change in x)
change in y = 9 - 0 = 9
change in x = 1.5 - 0 = 1.5
slope = 9/1.5 = 6
Therefore, the sloth travels 6 feet per minute.
Use the image to answer the question.
A graph with an x-axis representing time in minutes ranges from 0 to 4.5 in increments of 0.5. The y-axis representing distance in feet ranges from 0 to 9 in unit increments. A line is labeled speed of a sloth. The line passes through the following points: left parenthesis 0 comma 0 right parenthesis; left parenthesis 0.5 comma 3 right parenthesis; left parenthesis 1 comma 6 right parenthesis; and left parenthesis 1.5 comma 9 right parenthesis.
Identify the distance a sloth travels per minute.
