Graphing Inverse Relationships in Real-Life Scenarios

A car travels at a speed of 60 km/h. If the distance to a destination is doubled, how does the travel time change? Graph the relationship between speed and time.

• The travel time doubles.

• The travel time triples.

• The travel time remains the same.

• The travel time decreases by half.

A gardener can plant 100 seeds in 5 hours. If he works faster and can plant 200 seeds in 5 hours, how does the time change? Create a graph to represent the inverse relationship between the number of seeds and time.

• The time increases to 6 hours for 200 seeds.

• The time remains the same at 5 hours for both scenarios.

• The time changes to 10 hours for both scenarios.

• The time decreases to 4 hours for 200 seeds.
