Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Check for constant rate

For a linear graph, distance - time ratio is constant. In Table 1, $\frac{5}{1}=\frac{10}{2}=\frac{15}{3}=\frac{20}{4}=5$. In Table 2, $\frac{2}{1}=\frac{4}{2}=\frac{6}{3}=\frac{8}{4}=2$. In Table 4, distance is always 2. In Table 3, $\frac{20}{1}=20$, $\frac{30}{2} = 15$, $\frac{25}{3}\neq15$, $\frac{30}{4}\neq15$, rate is not constant.

Table 3
