A line graph of distance ($y$, in km) vs. time ($x$, in hours) is a straight line through the origin with $y=60$ when $x=1$. The equation describing the motion is:
  1. $y = 30x$
  2. $y = 60x$
  3. $y = 60 + x$
  4. $y = 60/x$

Solution

Through origin with slope $60$, so $y=60x$ (uniform speed of $60$ km/h).
