Tracie rides the bus home from school each day. The graph represents her distance from home relative to the number of minutes since the bus left the school.

A coordinate plane showing Driving Home. The x-axis shows Time in minutes and the y-axis shows Distance from Home in miles. The line starts at (0, 9) and passes through (2, 8), (4, 7), and ends at (10, 4).
What does the slope of the graph mean?

Tracie’s bus travels towards her home at an average speed of StartFraction one-half EndFraction mile per minute.
Tracie’s bus travels towards her home at an average speed of 2 miles per minute.
Tracie’s bus travels away from her home at an average speed of StartFraction one-half EndFraction mile per minute.
Tracie’s bus travels away from her home at an average speed of 2 miles per minute.

The slope of the graph shows Tracie's bus travels towards her home at an average speed of 1/2 or 0.5 mile per minute. The option A is correct.

Tracie rides the bus home from school each day. The x-axis shows Time in minutes and the y-axis shows Distance from Home in miles.
x = 0 2 4 10
y = 9 8 7 4
What the slope of the graph means is determined.

What is the slope of the line?

The slope of the line is the tangent angle made by the line with horizontal. i.e. m=tanx where x in degrees.

Here, Slope can be given as m =[tex](Y_2-Y_1) / (X_2-X_1)[/tex] = distance/time
It implies the slope shows the speed of the bus,
here, (2, 8) and (0, 9)
m = [tex](Y_2-Y_1) / (X_2-X_1)[/tex]

m = (9-8)/(0-2)
m = -1/2
negative sign shows the distance is decreasing because the bus is moving toward home,

Thus, the slope of the graph shows Tracie's bus travels toward her home at an average speed of 1/2 or 0.5 mile per minute. The option Ais correct.
