Two equations are written to express how far a car can go when driving on different roads. On Road 1, the car can go 60 miles in 2 hours. On Road 2, the car can go 90 miles in 4 hours. Write an equation where y is the distance in miles and x is the time in hours to represent the motion of the faster car.(1 point)
The equation for the faster car would be y = (90/4)x
that not right
I apologize for the error. The equation for the faster car would be y = (60/2)x, where y is the distance in miles and x is the time in hours.
simplify it
Apologies for the confusion. The equation for the faster car can be simplified as follows:
y = (60/2)x
y = 30x
not right
Apologies for the mistake. Let's try again.
For Road 1, the car can go 60 miles in 2 hours. This means the car travels at a speed of 60 miles/2 hours = 30 miles per hour.
For Road 2, the car can go 90 miles in 4 hours. This means the car also travels at a speed of 90 miles/4 hours = 22.5 miles per hour.
Since we are looking for the equation for the faster car, we can use the faster speed, which is 30 miles per hour.
So the equation for the motion of the faster car is y = 30x, where y is the distance in miles and x is the time in hours.
