Spencer and McKenna are on a long-distance bicycle ride. Spencer leaves one hour before McKenna. The graph
below shows each rider's distance in miles from his or her house as a function of time since McKenna left on her
bicycle to catch up with Spencer. (Note: Parts (e), (f), and (g) are challenge problems.)
a Which function represents Spencer's distance? Which
function represents Mckenna's distance? Explain your

One rider is speeding up as time passes and the other one is
30
slowing down. Which one is which, and how can you tell
from the graphs?
d.

model each rider's distance?
10
Create a function to model each rider's distance as a function
of the time since McKenna started riding her bicycle. Use the
13
data points labeled on the graph to create a precise model
for each rider's distance,
Time since McKenna left (hours)
f. What is the meaning of the xx- and yy-intercepts of each rider in the context of this problem?
Estimate which rider is traveling faster 30 minutes after
McKenna started riding. Show work to support your answer.
