Assuming the y-axis represents distance from the finish line, and they both move at a constant velocity IOW v(t)=m(t)+b, the animal with the higher negative m-value will win every time.
If the hare's velocity changes at times, then his average velocity would determine his finish time. If the hare's (v(t+h)-v(t))/h results in a higher negative slope than the turtle's, the hare would still win. .
The tortoise won because the hare was too confident. The hare had a sleep which allowed the tortoise to get to the winning line first.

The slow-crawling, hard-shelled animal is a turtle (some also tortoise).
The tortoise's character traits are slow and steady. The hare's character traits are fast, boastful and over-confident.
In the race between the tortoise and the hare, the tortoise maintains a steady pace, while the hare, overconfident in his speed, takes breaks to rest. Despite the hare's initial advantage, his decision to stop allows the tortoise to steadily close the gap. Ultimately, the tortoise's persistence and consistency may lead to an unexpected victory, illustrating the moral that slow and steady can win the race against overconfidence.
One is found in Æsop's fable 'The tortoise and the hare.' They race and hare is so confident of winning that he takes a nap during the race. The tortoise keeps on going and wins the race...
Well - lets put it into context. That's a distance of about 335 miles. A human would take about 116 hours to walk it IF they walked at a constant speed of three miles per hour non-stop.. A tortoise would likely take at least four or five times longer !
Distance travelled by bunny is: S = vt Distance travelled by tortoise in the same time is: S = at2 / 2 Since both times and distances have to be equal, we get: vt = at2 / 2, which simplifies to: t = 2v / a For v = 25 m/s, a = 0.003 m/s2, t = 16666,67 s or about 4h 38min (different dude) how do you do that tiny little 2 up top?!?!?!)
The Galapagos tortoise
A leopard tortoise. :)
...Tortoise.
you draw the tortoise and then rub out its body
