You are walking directly away from your house.

You are 5 miles away from your house when
you start walking, so you can determine your
distance from your house by adding 5 to the
number of miles you have walked. In the
equation below, a represents the number of
miles you have walked, and y represents your
distance from home in miles.
The relationship between these two variables
can be expressed by the following equation:
y = x + 5

variables.
