will give medal Tracie rides the bus home from school each day. The graph represents her distance from home relative to the number of minutes since the bus left the school. What does the slope of the graph mean? Tracie’s bus travels towards her home at an average speed of mile per minute. Tracie’s bus travels towards her home at an average speed of 2 miles per minute. Tracie’s bus travels away from her home at an average speed of mile per minute. Tracie’s bus travels away from her home at an average speed of 2 miles per minute.
show the graph!
the speed of the bus = distance travelled / time taken if you check the graph you'll see that after 10 minutes the bus has gone from 9 miles from home to 4 miles from home - that is 5 miles
so the slope = speed in miles per minute = 5 / 10
the speed at which the bus travels hone is 1/2 mile per minute
