21.7.2 Graphs in Distance Problems

Core idea

Distance changing steadily over time is a slanted straight line, and the slope k is exactly how fast you're going.

Module goal. Pull together modeling, recovering formulas, reading graphs, and equations and inequalities to solve real situations — and plant a contrast that sets up the nonlinear change of the next stage.
