Augustine is at an astronomical observatory. He is studying the doppler shifts of distant galaxies. He finds a galaxy that is moving away from the Earth with a speed of 2,417 km/s. How far away is this galaxy (in Mpc)?

  distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.

explanation:

the instantaneous velocity = change in position/time taken

the slope of the graph should give instantaneous velocity.

  slope of a graph = change in value of y -axis / change in values of x -axis

  comparing both the equations

    change in value of y -axis = change in position

  change in values of x -axis = time taken

so position values should be on the y axis and time values should be on the x axis.

distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.

it was given as a lesson and guide for prayer.
