Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Analyze the Table
The table provides the distance Myra runs over specific time intervals. The data points are:
At 0 minutes, the distance is 0.0 miles.
At 2 minutes, the distance is 0.4 miles.
At 4 minutes, the distance is 0.8 miles.
At 6 minutes, the distance is 1.2 miles.
At 8 minutes, the distance is 1.6 miles.
Step 2: Determine the Trend
As time increases, the distance Myra runs also increases. Specifically:
From 0 to 2 minutes, the distance increases by 0.4 miles.
From 2 to 4 minutes, the distance increases by another 0.4 miles.
This pattern continues consistently for each 2-minute interval.
Step 3: Conclusion
Since the distance increases as time increases, Myra's distance is increasing.
