A. The function shown on the graph has a greater rate of change, but
a lower starting point.
B. The function shown on the graph has a greater rate of change and
a higher starting point.
C. The function shown on the graph has a smaller rate of change, but
a higher starting point.
D. The function shown on the graph has a smaller rate of change and
a lower starting point.

step-by-step explanation:

- "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."
