The document compares the speed and distance traveled over time of two objects, A and B. Object A's speed is defined by the equation y=2x+1, while Object B's speed is defined by y=x+1. Based on these equations and calculations of their slopes, Object A travels 2 meters per second and Object B travels 1 meter per second, so Object A is faster. The two objects will pass each other when Object A has traveled 3 seconds. After 5 seconds, Object A will have traveled 11 meters and Object B will have traveled 7 meters.
