PLS HELP BEING TIMED A popular social media platform has begun offering
stock shares to the public. In the past 2 years, the
price of the stock has generally increased. An
investment specialist gathers data on the stock price
over the past 2 years and proposes two models for
estimating the growth of the stock, as shown in the
scatterplots.

Step-by-step explanation:

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."
