A particular company charges advertisers a one-time cost of $500, in addition to $4.50 for
every one thousand times an advertisement is shown on the company's webpage. An advertiser
wants its ad to appear M thousand times on the webpage, but does not want to spend more
than $5,000. Which of the following inequalities best describes the situation?

- "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."
