Mary slides down a snow-covered hill on a large piece of cardboard and then slides across a frozen pond at a constant velocity of 2.50 m/s. After Mary has reached the bottom of the hill and is sliding across the ice, Sue runs after her at a velocity of 4.30 m/s and hops on the cardboard. How fast do the two of them slide across the ice together on the cardboard

  distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.

explanation:

the instantaneous velocity = change in position/time taken

the slope of the graph should give instantaneous velocity.

  slope of a graph = change in value of y -axis / change in values of x -axis

  comparing both the equations

    change in value of y -axis = change in position

  change in values of x -axis = time taken

so position values should be on the y axis and time values should be on the x axis.

distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.
