The graph below shows the distance, y, in miles, of a bird from its nest for a certain amount of time, x, in minutes:

graph titled distance vs time is shown with time in minutes along the x-axis and distance from nest in miles along the y-axis. the scale on the x-axis shows the numbers 0 to 25 at increments of 5, and the scale on the y-axis shows the numbers 1 to 8 at increments of 1. a straight line joins the ordered pairs 0, 3 and 5, 4 and 10, 5 and 15, 6 and 20, 7.

based on the graph, what is the initial value of the graph and what does it represent?

3 miles per minute; it represents the speed of the bird
0.2 mile per minute; it represents the speed of the bird
0.2 mile; it represents the original distance of the bird from its nest
3 miles; it represents the original distance of the bird from its nest

miles per minute represents the speed of the bird and 3 miles represents the original distance of the bird from its nest.

Step-by-step explanation:

As there is no graph mentioned here but the information are quite sufficient to answer the question.

We have points

From these points we can find the slope of the line .

From point slope formula

And assigning and

This slope is also the speed of the bird which is

As by plugging the values of any coordinate point we can confirm this.

Lets put , y-axis is the distance so in minutes the the distance covered by the bird must be equal to to y-axis value which is miles.

Now as in the bird has started from y-intercept value so we can say that,the original distance of the bird from its nest is .

So the correct choices are: and

The birds speed is per minute and is away from its nest.

the population of other specie of birds will decline or other specie of birds will find some alternate source of food to survive.

explanation:

according to the competitive exclusion principle, which is also known as gause's law, two specie living in the same niche and feeding on the same resource cannot co-exist stably.

as we have well studied the theory of natural selection which states that only those organisms survive which have better tendency to compete for food and adapt to the environmental conditions.

coming towards the question, what wi ll happen when one species outcompetes the other for the small fish , the other specie will not get enough food and will start to die or decline in population. eventually either other specie needs to find another alternative food source for itself or migrate at some other location where there is less competition otherwise it will just not exist anymore at that niche.

hope it !
