In 1 hour, Kurt traveled
miles.
His distance changed at a unit rate of
miles per hour, so Kurt's speed was
miles per hour.
If Kurt had driven more slowly, the slope of the graph would be

Answer:

  • 1.5 hours; 75 miles
  • 50 miles
  • 50 miles per hour; 50 miles per hour
  • less/decreased/reduced/smaller

Step-by-step explanation:

The labels on the axes of the graph tell you the meaning of the coordinates of a point on the graph. The ordered pair lists the horizontal coordinate first. The horizontal axis is labeled hours, and the vertical axis is labeled miles.

The point (hours, miles) = (1.5, 75) means Kurt drove 75 miles in 1.5 hours.

__

You can find the miles driven in 1 hour by reading the graph at the horizontal coordinate 1 hour. You find that is 50 miles. The 1 represents 1 unit, so the "unit rate" is 50 miles in 1 hour. Such a rate is also called a "speed" of 50 miles per hour.

If Kurt had driven fewer miles in an hour, the points on the graph would all have smaller vertical coordinates. The unit rate (slope) would be less than 50 miles per hour.
