Question

Luke is swimming in still water at a constant speed of 3 meters/second. If you graph this relationship with time along the x-axis and distance along the y-axis, the slope of the line representing this relationship is? A point on this line that corresponds to the the distance Luke swam in 45 seconds is?

Answer 1

The first thing you should know is that distance is defined as the product of speed over time.
 We have then:
 d = v * t
 Then, we know that:
 v = 3 m / s
 therefore, the slope of the line is:
 3m / s
 For t = 45 seconds we have:
 d = v * t
 d = (3) * (45).
 d = 135 m
 The point is:
 (45, 135)
 answer:
 The slope of the line representing this relationship is:
 3m / s
 A point on this line that corresponds to the distance Luke swam in 45
seconds is:
 (45, 135)
