To determine how Myra's distance changes over time, let's carefully analyze the values provided for time and distance.
Let's examine the time and distance data:
- 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.
Now, let's determine if the distance Myra runs is increasing, decreasing, zero, or constant.
1. Increasing:
- From 0 to 2 minutes, distance increases from 0.0 to 0.4 miles.
- From 2 to 4 minutes, distance increases from 0.4 to 0.8 miles.
- From 4 to 6 minutes, distance increases from 0.8 to 1.2 miles.
- From 6 to 8 minutes, distance increases from 1.2 to 1.6 miles.
In each interval, the distance Myra runs increases as time increases.
2. Decreasing: For the data to be decreasing, the distance at each subsequent time period would need to be less than the distance at the previous time period, which is not the case here.
3. Zero: For the data to be zero, the distance at all time points must remain zero, which is not true here.
4. Constant: For the data to be constant, the distance must remain the same at all time points, which is also not true here.
Since the distance consistently increases with time, we can conclude:
Myra's distance as time increases is: increasing.
