Question

Your family decides to take a long road trip for the summer. You will be riding in the
car while it moves at a fairly constant rate for eight hours to reach your destination.

Use the table to plot the points on the graph below. Label the axes with the correct
quantities and use an appropriate scale for the gridlines.

Answer 1

Table:

Time (hours) | Distance (miles)
0 | 0
1 | 60
2 | 120
3 | 180
4 | 240
5 | 300
6 | 360
7 | 420
8 | 480

On the x-axis label "Time (hours)" and on the y-axis label "Distance (miles)".

Plot the following points:
(0,0), (1,60), (2,120), (3,180), (4,240), (5,300), (6,360), (7,420), (8,480).

Connect the points with a straight line to show the constant rate of travel. Make sure to use a scale that allows all the points to fit on the graph and be clearly visible.
