Which of the following are true about a linear relationship? Select all that apply.

• The relationship has a constant slope (same rate throughout).

The line on this graph has a negative slope. Why?

• It actually has a positive slope, because the line is in the quadrant with positive coordinates.

• It is a negative slope because the line slants downward from left to right.

• It is a negative slope because the graph has negative numbers on the axes.

• It's actually a line with a positive AND negative slope, because the line has arrows on both ends.

Horse A ran at a speed of 5.5 meters per second. Horse B ran 9 meters in 2 seconds. Which horse ran faster, and why?

• Horse B was faster because Horse A started at -2 meters.

• Horse A was faster because 5.5 meters per second is faster than 4.5 meters per second.

• Horse A was faster because Horse B started at 0 meters.

• Horse B was faster because the graph is in a straight line.
