Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Since, speed of a car = [tex]\frac{\text{Distance traveled}}{\text{Time taken}}[/tex]
From the graph attached,
A point (1, 60) lies on the line shown in graph.
At this point speed of the car = [tex]\frac{\triangle y}{\triangle x}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{60-0}{1-0}[/tex]
= 60 miles per hour
But Billy says the speed of the car is [tex]\frac{1}{60}[/tex] miles per hour.
So the error in the Billy's answer is that he has used the wrong formula to calculate the speed.
(As per Billy, speed = [tex]\frac{\text{Time taken}}{\text{Distance covered}}[/tex])
