Answer:
y = 3.5 + (1/8)x
Step-by-step explanation:
Speed is the ratio of total distance traveled to the total time taken. It is given by the formula:
Speed = distance / time.
The distance Paul Revere traveled from Charlestown to Boston is 3.5 miles.
Paul Revere also traveled from Boston to Lexington by horse at a rate of 1/8 mile per minute. If he traveled for x minutes, the distance covered can be gotten by:
Speed = distance / time
1/8 = distance / x
distance = (1/8)x miles.
y = sum of the distance to Charlestown and the distance from Charlestown to Lexington
y = 3.5 + (1/8)x
