Reading the tracks
Patience. The deneege (moose) moves deliberately. Its path can be predicted if we observe its rate of travel.
We tracked the deneege and recorded the distance it traveled over time. A constant rate of travel is called the slope.
| Time (x hours) | Distance (y miles) |
|---|---|
| 2 | 8 |
| 4 | 16 |
Calculate the speed (slope) by finding the change in distance divided by the change in time (Rise / Run).
Slope =
=mph
