A coordinate graph is titled Runner A. It is labeled number of minutes on the x-axis ranging from 0 to 50 in increments of 10 and miles on the y-axis from 0 to 5 in increments of 1. Five points are plotted. The approximate coordinates of the plotted points are as follows: left parenthesis 0 comma 0 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 10 comma 1.2 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 20 comma 2.4 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 30 comma 3.5 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 40 comma 4.7 right parenthesis.
