Step-by-step explanation:

The graph of the question is attached below.

A straight line graph is used to represent a linear equation. A linear equation is represented by the equation: y = mx + b, where y is the dependent variable, x is the independent variable, m is the rate of change and b is the intercept.

The equation of a line passing through two points is given as:

Let y represent the distance in miles and x represent the time in hours. From the graph, the line pass through (1.5, 300) and (2.5, 500). Hence using:

36/60

36/2=18

60/2=30

18/30

18/3=6

30/3=10

6/10

6/2=3

10/2=5

your final answer would be 3/5 of an

hope this !
