You are going on a road trip!
You drive to your best friend's house and then get on the highway.
After 2.5
hours, you had traveled a total of 135
miles.
You can average 50
miles per hour after you leave your friend's house.
Which of these equations best shows the distance you have gone since you left your house?
d = 50t + 135
Mila reads at a rate of 3
paragraphs per minute.
After reading for 4
minutes, she had read a total of 12
paragraphs.
This situation can be represented with a linear equation written in point-slope form, where x
represents the number of minutes and y
represents the number of paragraphs.
Use this information to complete each statement about the linear equation.
The linear equation in point-slope form is:
y - 12 = 3(x - 4)
a) The slope of the linear equation is 3
b) The y-intercept of the linear equation is 12
a point on the graph is?
A point on the graph would be (4, 12), which represents Mila reading 12 paragraphs after 4 minutes.
Luz drives at an average speed of 45
miles per hour.
She has driven for 3
hours and has travelled a distance of 135
miles.
This situation can be represented with a linear equation written in point-slope form, where x
represents the number of hours and y
represents the number of miles.
Use this information to complete each statement about the linear equation.
The linear equation in point-slope form is:
y - 135 = 45(x - 3)
a) The slope of the linear equation is 45
b) The y-intercept of the linear equation is 135
