    This document discusses killer whale swimming speeds and provides an equation to calculate the distance traveled based on time and average speed. It states that killer whales typically swim between 3.2-9.7 km/h but can reach up to 48.4 km/h, and uses an example of a migrating whale averaging 4.5 km/h. The distance traveled (d) in hours (t) can be predicted by the equation d = 4.5t.

    MARINE BIOLOGY For Exercises 16 and 17, use the 

    following information. 
    Killer whales usually swim at a rate of 3.2–9.7 kilometers 
    per hour, though they can travel up to 48.4 kilometers per 
    hour. Suppose a migrating killer whale is swimming at an 
    average rate of 4.5 kilometers per hour. The distance d the 
    whale has traveled in t hours can be predicted by the 
    equation d _ 4.5t. 
    1.  Graph the equation. 
    2.  Use the graph to predict the time it takes the killer 
    whale to travel 30 kilometers.
