Respuesta :

We will solve as follows:

a)

We can see that after each hour the distance will increase by 75 miles.

b)

We calculate the slope as follows:

We can see that the graph passes by the points (0, 0) & (1, 75), now we replace in the following expression:

[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

Now, we replace:

[tex]m=\frac{75-0}{1-0}\Rightarrow m=75[/tex]

So, the slope is 75.
