Question

The data plotted on a graph of distance on the y-axis vs. time on the x-axis yields a linear graph. Identify which of the following option best describe the slope of the graph .

• A. $\frac{\Delta d}{\Delta t}$
• B. $\left(\Delta d\right)\left(\Delta t\right)$
• C. $\frac{\Delta t}{\Delta d}$
• D. $\left(\Delta d\right)+\left(\Delta t\right)$
• E. $\left(\Delta d\right)-\left(\Delta t\right)$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\frac{\Delta d}{\Delta t}$

Slope of the graph $=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{\Delta d}{\Delta t}$
