Solution

The correct option is D Chandler bikes a longer distance than Joey in the same amount of time, so Chandler must bike at a faster rate
The slope of chandler's line is more (the line is more steep) as compared to Joey. Now the slope of a distance vs tie graphs give the speed. Since the graphs are straight lines, hence they travel with uniform speed. Since the slope of chandler's line is more, hence chandler's vehicle is faster than Joey's.
