The solution is about a distance-time graph. The interpretation of the graph is that it took the family 6 hours to travel a distance of 360 miles. Note that the distance is plotted on y-axis and time on the x-axis.
What is a distance-time graph?
A distance time graph is a simple graph that shows the relationship between the time travelled the distance covered while doing do.
The slope-intercept form is
y= mx+b−⋯(1)
The y-intercept is 360
⇒b = 360; and m = −60
Substituting the value of m = −60
and b = 360
in (1) above,
⇒y = −60x +360
The x-intercept is
y = 0,
⇒0= −60x+360
hence, x=6
The y-intercept is
x=0
⇒y=−60(0)+360
⇒y=360
In conclusion, the x - intercept is the time in hours between Cincinnati and St. Loui: and
The y - intercept is the distance between Cincinnati and St. Louis.
