By how much has the value of y changed between the two points (-4, -7) and (-2, -6)?

Tony walks 3 km at a constant speed, taking 50 minutes. He then runs 5 km at a constant speed, taking 25 minutes. Draw a distance time graphs of Tony Journey. Using a scale of 2 cm = 1 km and 1 m a scale of 2 cm = 1 km and 1 cm = 10 minutes. Use the graph to find his average speed for the whole journey in m/s.

2. Mary travels by car. At constant speed, from her home to London which is 70 km a way. She leaves home at 2.00 pm and arrives at 2.45 pm. She stays in London for 2 hours, then return homes , taking 50 minutes. Draw a distance – time graph showing Mary’s journey to and from London. Use a scale of 1 cm= 20 minutes and 2 cm = 10 km. Use the graph to find her velocity.
