Question

Kayden is a stunt driver. One time, during a gig where she escaped from a building about to explode(!), she droveat a constant speed to get to the safe zone that was 160 meters away. After 3 seconds of driving, she was 85meters away from the safe zone.Let y represent the distance (in meters) from the safe zone after x seconds.Which of the following could be the graph of the relationship?

Answer 1

Answer:

Graph C

Explanation:

Given that the safe zone was 160 meters away.

And, After 3 seconds of driving, she was 85 meters away from the safe zone.

This means that the distance away from the safe zone decreases with time.

So, the graph will have a negative slope.

And as x increases, y decreases till it reaches zero.

From the given options, the graph that shows the correct relationship between x and y is Graph C
