Sam is rowing a boat away from a dock. The graph shows the relationship between time and Sam's distance from the dock. Evaluate the function for an input of 6 .
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Understand the Problem
The problem asks us to evaluate the function for an input of 6, which means we need to find the distance from the dock when the time is 6 minutes.
Step 2: Analyze the Graph
The graph shows a linear relationship between time (in minutes) and distance (in meters). The x-axis represents time, and the y-axis represents distance.
Step 3: Locate the Input on the Graph
Find the point on the x-axis where the time is 6 minutes.
Step 4: Determine the Corresponding Output
From the point where x = 6, move vertically to the line on the graph, then move horizontally to the y-axis to find the corresponding distance.
Final Answer
After 6 minutes, Sam is 60 meters from the dock. Therefore, the correct answer is:
A. After 60 minutes, Sam is 60 meters from the dock.
