After 50 seconds the runners will meet if the graph shows the distance covered by two runners in a race with respect to time option (C) is correct.
What is a straight line?
A straight line is a combination of endless points joined on both sides of the point.
The slope 'm' of any straight line is given by:
[tex]\rm m =\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
We have two lines shown on the coordinate plane.
As we know,
The ratio that y increase as x increases is the slope of a line. The slope of a line reflects how steep it is, but how much y increases as x increases. Anywhere on the line, the slope stays unchanged (the same).
Both lines have a positive slope.
From the graph, we can see the intersection point of the lines is at (50, 400)
50 seconds, as that is where the lines cross, where the two runners collide.
Thus, after 50 seconds the runners will meet if the graph shows the distance covered by two runners in a race with respect to time option (C) is correct.
