Question

The rise of a line on a distance-vs-time graph is 600 m and the run is 3 mins what is the slope of the line?

Answer 1

600/3 = 200
slope is 200m/min

or

600/ (3/60) =
600 x 60/3 =
600 x20 = 12,000metres per hour

Answer 2

Answer:

The slope of the line measured is $3.33m/s$.

Explanation:

Data given,

The rise of the given line = $600m$

The run of the given line = $3mins$

Convert minutes into seconds:

• $1min = 60seconds$

• $3mins$ = $(3\times 60 ) seconds$ = $180seconds$

The slope of the line =?

As we know,

• The slope of the line is the ratio of the rise of the line to the run of the line.

Therefore,

• Slope = $\frac{rise}{run}$
• Slope = $\frac{600}{180}$
• Slope = $3.33m/s$

Hence, the slope of the line measured is $3.33m/s$.
