Suzette is on her way to science class, and in an effort to not be late again she is going to go a different way than last time. This way is longer, but less crowded, so she should
be able to go faster and be on time.

Plot Suzette's position on the graph below and starting at (0,0) connect the points.
Then using the formula for slope, calculate the slope for each of the 3 line segments.
Slope; H/W #1
H/W #2
H/W #3
Is there any relationship between: s, d, or t and the slope of the line segment?
Y. N?
Slope = y2 - y1 / X2 - X1. (X. Y)
