Given the graph, find an equation for the parabola.

- "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."

are ya tryin to ask something or is this a statement

school a:

minimum value is 2

maximum value is 22

the lower quartile is 2.5

the median is 10

the upper quartile is 15.5

school b:

minimum value is 9

maximum value is 20

the lower quartile is 12

the median is 16

the upper quartile is 18

box plot for school a isn't symmetrical. the data tails on the right

box plot for school b isn't symmetrical. the data tails on the left

hope i

-lavira: )

i believe b is the answer
