Answer:

  7 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the average speed of the bee for the portion of a journey shown in the graph.

Average speed

The average speed is the ratio of distance to time for the journey of interest. Here, the bee travels from 20 m to 90 m away from the hive, for a distance of (90 -20) = 70 m.

The graph covers a time period from 0 seconds to 10 seconds, a period of 10 seconds.

The bee's speed is then ...

   s = d/t = (70 m)/(10 s) = 7 m/s

The average speed for the bee is 7 m/s.
