20 POINTS FOR HELP!!!!
The graph shows the distance, y, in miles, of a moving motorboat from an island for a certain amount of time, x, in hours:

A graph titled Distance Vs Time is shown with Time in hours labeled on x axis and Distance from Island in miles labeled on y axis. The scale on the x axis shows the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and the scale on the y axis shows the numbers 0, 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 175, 200, 225. The graph shows a straight line joining the ordered pairs 0, 25, and 1, 75, and 2, 125, and 3, 175, and 4,225.

What is the speed of the motorboat?

225 miles per hour

25 miles per hour

75 miles per hour

50 miles per hour

50 mph y=50x+25 where x is hours traveled and y is total distance
yoloswaggs51
so to find the speed we find the unit rate
to do that we do (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

so we can use any points, but I'm going to use points (0,25) and (1,75)

75-25=50
2-1=1
then we do rise(y) over run(x)
50/1=50

so the boat is going 50mph making your answer. D
