Question

The equation y = 43x represents the number of miles Alicia drives over time, where y is the number of miles and x is time in hours. The table shows the number of miles Trish drives over time. How many miles does each woman travel per hour, and who drives at a slower rate? Alicia: 43 miles per hour Trish: miles per hour The woman who drives at a slower rate is . (Type A for Alicia or T for Trish) Trish Time (h) 1.5 3.5 6 7.5 Miles driven 69 161 276 345

Answer 1

Alicia drives at a slower rate of 43mph.    Take Trish's 69,161,276, and 345 in that order, and divide them in order of 1.5 for 69, 3.5 for 161, etc. and you will get 46mph.
