A study was done to determine a new car's stopping distance when it was traveling at different speeds. The study was done on a dry road with good surface conditions. The results are shown below, along with the graph of a quadratic function that models the data.
Refer to the image showing the Vehicle Stopping Distance graph.
Based on the graph, which of the following statements best describes the relationship between a vehicle's speed and its stopping distance?
Stopping distance increases at a constant rate as speed increases.
Stopping distance increases at an increasing rate as speed increases.
Stopping distance increases at a decreasing rate as speed increases.
Stopping distance is inversely proportional to speed.
