What does the slope represent in the context of these graphs?

• The total miles walked

• The distance covered

• The time taken

• The walking speed

Who walks faster, Mike or Carol?

• Mike

• Carol

• Both walk at the same speed

• It cannot be determined

Why is Carol's walking speed faster than Mike's?

• Her graph is non-linear

• She takes less time to walk the same distance

• Her slope is negative

• She walks a longer distance
