Two bicyclists are traveling along the same road. Bicyclist A's distance, d, from a certain town after h hours Given by the equation
d = 11.5h + 5
Bicyclist B's distance from the same town is shown in the graph .

Which THREE statements are TRUE?

A
B is traveling 1 mile per hour faster than A.

B
After 2 hours, A will have traveled a total of 28 miles.

С
B started from the town, while A started 5 miles from the town.

D
After 5 hours, the two bicyclists will be the same distance from the town.

E
When the two bicyclists reach the same point. A will have traveled 5 more miles than B.

The correct statement are statements B and C

Distance time graphs

Given the following equation for the distance of Bicyclist A expressed as:

d = 11.5h + 5

After 1 hour for A

d(1) = 11.5 + 5
d(1) = 16.5

For bicycle B, the distance traveled after 1 hour is 12.5 miles from the graph. Hence B is not traveling 1 mile per hour faster than A.

After 2 hours for A;

d(2) = 11.5(2) + 5

d(2) = 23 + 5 = 28 miles

Hence after 2 hours, A will have traveled a total of 28 miles.

From the graph, we can see that B started from the town (origin), and from the equation, A started from 5 miles from town (y-intercept is 5)

Hence the correct statement are statements B and C
