Object A and Object B are two objects in motion. Compare the graph of Object A and the equation y =
1/5x of Object B. Which of the two moving objects has greater speed and by what factor? (round to nearest hundredth)
Responses
A Object A by a factor of 1.75Object A by a factor of 1.75
B Object B by a factor of 1.75Object B by a factor of 1.75
C Object A by a factor of 1.25Object A by a factor of 1.25
D Object B by a factor of 1.25
The equation y = (1/5)x represents a straight line with a positive slope. This means that as x increases, y also increases.
Since Object A has a greater speed, its graph would have a steeper slope and greater y-values for the same x-values compared to the graph of Object B (y = (1/5)x).
Therefore, the correct answer is:
A) Object A by a factor of 1.75
