HI IVE BEEN POSTING THIS AND NO ONE IS HELPING THIS ASSIGNMENT IS DUE IN 12 MINS AND IM HAVING A HARD TIME SOLVING IT. THIS IS PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM AND I DONT GET IT WILL MARK BRAINLIEST IF SHOW WORK

a variable is any characteristics, number, or quantity that can be measured or counted. a variable may also be called a data item. hope i !

- "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."
