Question

sandy is observing the velocity of a runner at different times. After one hour, the velocity of the runner is 4 km/h. After two hours, the velocity of the runner is km/h

Answer 1

A) Let x stand for time, y stand for velocity.
We are given the points (2,50), (6, 54). We can make a line using the slope intercept form
y = mx + b.
slope is (54 - 50)/(6-2) = 4/4 = 1
y = 1x + b
plug in point (2,50) to find b
50 = 1(2) + b
50-2 = b
48 = b
the equation is y = 1x + 48
Make standard form.
x - y = -48
