Which situation is best modeled by the graph? a.) the cost of buying muffinsb.) the distance between the train and the station as the train travels towards the stationc.) the amount of money left in the roll of quarters after paying a roll each dayd.) the distance a runner covers traveling at a steady paste

Which situation is best modeled by the graph a the cost of buying muffinsb the distance between the train and the station as the train travels towards the stati class=

Respuesta :

Notice that the graph plots points that as we move along the horizontal axis, go down in value. The Horizontal axis is most likely representing the time elapsed in each description.

Then, we DISCARD the first answer, since the cost of muffins don't go down as time goes by.

Answer b is a POSSIBLE answer, since the distance as the train approaches the station, is reducing (going down in value) as time goes by.

Answer C is not a good answer (we discard it) since after paying a roll each day, the number of quarters in each roll doesn't go down because we pay with the entire roll.

Answer d is also discarded, since the distance covered by the runner, should be going UP (increasing) as time goes by

Therefore, answer b) is the selected answer.
