im pretty sure its C. because as the cheetah runs from the start he gradually gets faster

anonymous · Answer

The derivative of velocity is acceleration. Furthermore, a derivative is a kind of slope, so positive acceleration should imply a positive slope!

So, yes, I also think the correct answer is C
