Question

The location of an ant from a tree was 3 meters west (negative direction). The ant walked towards the tree at a constant rate and reached the tree in 2 minutes. If y represents the location of the ant from the tree, in meters, and x represents the time in minutes, which graph best represents this situation?

Answer 2

y represents location, and it says the ant was 3 meters away in the negative direction to begin with. So, make sure the beginning of the line segment is at -3 on the y-axis. Next, it says to measure time in minutes with x, and it took the ant 2 minutes to get to the tree. So the end of the line segment would be at 2 on the x-axis :)

Answer 3

yep, that one's right! :)
