The question is : write a positive or a negative number to represent each situation.

-3 because below is less and 3 less than zero is -3

6 because sea level would be zero and 6 above is 6

-5 cause your losing 5 pounds which means its 5 less so -5

4 because say you have zero dollars then you find 4 you now have positive 4

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."
