Find the average rate of horizontal change of the ball the 1.6 sec.

a)

the average speed, well it does 10 ft in 1.6 secs, so is simply their quotient, 10/1.6 = 6.25 ft/s on average.

b)

over the horizontal, well, it covered horizontally 9.25 ft in those 1.6 secs, so their quotient is 9.25/1.6 = 5.78125 ft/s on average.

c)

we don't know the vertical distance, but

so, it covered vertically about 3.8 ft in those 1.6 secs, so then 3.8/1.6 = 2.375 ft/s on average

d

step-by-step explanation:

by observation, we can see that the the graph is simply the graph of y = |x| that has been shifted 4 units downwards and 3 units to the left.

we can recognize in choice d :

y = | x + 3 |   - 4 (rewriting in general form)

y = | x - (- 3) |   - 4

the "-4 " term means   that the graph has been shifted by 4 units in the negative y direction

the "-3 " term means   that the graph has been shifted by 3 units in the negative x direction

this matches our observation of the graph described above.
