A hiking group began hiking back to camp. The table shows the relationship between the time in minutes and the distance the group is from camp in kilometers.
Hiking Trip:
Time, x minutes): 5,10,20,30,40,50,
Distance to Camp, y kilometers): 3, 2.5, 2. 1.75, 1.5, 1.25, 0.75
To find the relationship between time and distance, we can create a table and plot the data points.
Time (x minutes) | Distance to Camp (y kilometers)
5 | 3
10 | 2.5
20 | 2
30 | 1.75
40 | 1.5
50 | 1.25
Next, we can plot these points on a graph and see the trend. Let's use x for the horizontal axis (time in minutes) and y for the vertical axis (distance to camp in kilometers).
We can see that as time increases, the distance to camp decreases. So, we can conclude that there is a negative relationship between time and distance. As the hikers spend more time hiking, they get closer to the camp.
