Afootball player took forward and backward steps of equal length during the play. after taking 14 steps total , he was back at his starting position. how many steps did the football player take in the forward and backward directions? a.6steps forward and 8 backward b.7 forward 7 backward c.8 forward and 6 backward d.5 forward and 9 backward. i believe its b not sure

14

step-by-step explanation:

14 x 3 = 42

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."
