Question

The distance that Scott walks is a function of the time he spends walking. Scott can walk 1 half
mile every 8 minutes. Assume he walks at a constant rate.
predict the shape of the graph of the function

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

The distance that Scott walks is a function of the time he spends walking. Scott can walk 1 half  mile every 8 minutes.

Let y is the distance (in miles) and x is time (in minutes).

$\dfrac{0.5}{8}=\dfrac{y}{x}\\\\\dfrac{x}{y}=16\\\\y=\dfrac{x}{16}$

The attached graph predicts the shape of the function. Hence, this is the required solution.
