The graph below shows the movement of an object at several points in time. What is the average speed of the object?

• 0.5 meters per minute

• 2 meters per minute

• 25 meters per minute

• 50 meters per minute

Answer explanation

The first lattice point is (5,10). So, in 5 minutes, the object has traveled 10 meters. Because this is a proportional relationship, we can divide y by x. 10/5 = 2, so the slope is 2 meters/minute.
