a long night of clubbing their distances from home in

00:14

feet as a function of time in seconds are given

00:19

by the following graph after ten minutes of walking how

00:23

far apart are they and hear the potential answers before

00:26

we spoil the ending hit positive right yourself Okay Question

00:32

Can we read a graph Answer Yes And we read

00:35

it accurately And uh well let's See Okay so the

00:39

01:23

is halfway between thirty six hundred and twenty four hundred

01:26

so it's got to be about three thousand This one

01:29

is halfway between thirty six hundred and forty eight hundred
