Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Find two points on the graph
The graph passes through the points (0, 0) and (1, 60).
Step 2: Calculate the speed
Speed is the change in distance divided by the change in time. In this case:
Speed = (60 miles - 0 miles) / (1 hour - 0 hour) = 60 miles/hour.
Final Answer: The final answer is $\boxed{60 mph}$
