Question

The table represents the total miles traveled, y, after a number of hours, x.

What linear equation would represent this situation?

Answer 1

60x=y

To find this answer, find what y/x=m would be for m
150/2.5=60
240/4= 60
330/5.5=60
420/7=60

Answer 2

Answer:

$y=60 x$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

$x_1=2.5$

$y_1=150$

$x_2=4.0$

$y_2=240$

Slope formula:$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Using the formula

Slope :$m=\frac{240-150}{4-2.5}=60$

Point- slope equation:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

Using the formula

The linear equation of the given situation is given by

$y-150=60(x-2.5)$

$y-150=60x-150$

$y=60x-150+150$

$y=60 x$
