The following graph represents the distance a commercial airplane travels over time, at cruising speed and an altitude of 35,000 feet. In fact, the distance the airplane travels at cruising speed is directly proportional to the time it travels. What is the cruising speed of the airplane? In your answer, use complete sentences to describe how you found the speed.

567 miles an hour / 9.45 miles a minute / 0.1575 miles a second

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the speed I looked at the distance the plane had traveled and at the time the plane took to travel such distance.

first option

a function is a relation in which an input is paired with exactly one output.

so, let's find the right answer.

in our first option, our inputs are january, february, and march. the outputs are 30, 28, and 25. each input has it's own output. this is correct!

our second option we know is incorrect, because ms. valverade has two outputs, dogs and cats. this is not a function.

our third option is incorrect as well. the yellow square has two ouputs, the square and the triangle.

lastly, in our fourth option, we see the number 7 two times with a different output. therefore, this is not a function.

remember: each input must be paired with only one output!
