How does the walking rate affect the graphs?

 

 

 

Which graph climbs the fastest?  Which graph climbs the slowest?  Why? 

 

 

 

Are these graphs linear?  Explain your answer?

 

 

 

How many points do the graphs share in common?  Why do they share this point and only this point(s)?

How does the walking rate affect the equations?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hint:  The values in your table, for each person, should satisfy the equation you have made for that person.  You should be able to substitute values for t and d in your equation with values in your table and the equation will be equal on both sides.  Think about the rate at which each person walks and use that number in your equation.
