The distance traveled by the blue car is represented by y=39x
The distance traveled by the red car was monitored by a table
which car is moving faster
number of hours. miles traveled
4. 164
5 205
6. 246
To determine which car is moving faster, we can compare the distances traveled by both cars at the same time.
For the blue car, the distance traveled is represented by the equation y = 39x, where x is the number of hours.
For the red car, the distances traveled are provided in the table:
Hours (x) | Miles Traveled (y)
4 | 164
5 | 205
6 | 246
To compare the two cars, we need to find the distance traveled by the blue car at each hour listed in the table.
For the blue car:
At x = 4 hours, y = 39(4) = 156 miles
At x = 5 hours, y = 39(5) = 195 miles
At x = 6 hours, y = 39(6) = 234 miles
Comparing the distances traveled at each hour:
At 4 hours, the red car traveled 164 miles, and the blue car traveled 156 miles.
At 5 hours, the red car traveled 205 miles, and the blue car traveled 195 miles.
At 6 hours, the red car traveled 246 miles, and the blue car traveled 234 miles.
From these comparisons, we can see that the red car traveled a greater distance than the blue car at each hour. Therefore, the red car is moving faster.
