Answer: 48 feet

In order to get the answer you have to plug 12 into the equation you made in part a.

Firstly, let's check your answer to part A.

We know that there is no y-intercept because the line crosses the origin (0,0).

Let's use the slope formula to find the slope:


(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (20 - 0)/(5-0) = (20)/(5) = 4

So, the slope is actually 4x.

Now, we go on to answer part b.

y = 4x

Plug in the 12

y = 4(12)

y = 48

Therefore Kelvin will have walked 48 feet after 12 seconds.

I hope this helps!!
