If the slope of a line on a distance-time graph is 1, the speed of the object being plotted is?

Question

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

keep in mind that 

Distance = Rate * Time

The rate is the speed

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

You can isolate "Rate" to get

Rate = Distance/Time

anonymous · Answer

Is it increasing or decreasing?

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

the speed?

anonymous · Answer

yes

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

that's impossible to say without any more info

anonymous · Answer

If the slope of a line on a distance-time graph is 1, the speed of the object being plotted is
a.
constant.
c.
increasing.
b.
0.
d.
decreasing.

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

we can only know that the rate is 1 since the slope is 1

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

we need to know other points around to figure out what's going on

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

assuming the slope stays 1 the whole time, then the speed is the same the whole time

therefore, it's constant

anonymous · Answer

Thanks

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

however, that answer is based on the assumption that the slope stays 1 the whole time

How would a round-trip flight be represented on a distance/time graph?
