Question 5
Write an equation using the variables 𝑥𝑥 and 𝑦𝑦 that relates the distance to the time.
Label the variables to show what they stand for in the equation. Be careful of which
variable you use for the independent and dependent quantities.
The equation relating distance to time can be expressed as:
distance (d) = speed (s) x time (t)
Alternatively, it can also be written as:
𝑥 = 𝑦𝑡
Where:
- 𝑥 represents the distance
- 𝑦 represents the speed or rate at which the distance is covered
- 𝑡 represents the time taken to cover the distance
