Answer:

y = 10x

Explanation:

Independent variable (x) = time (minutes)

Dependent variable (y) = distance (feet)

The line passes through the point of origin (0, 0), which means it represents a proportional relationship. Therefore, the equation would be in the form of y = mx. Where,

m = slope = y/x

Using any point on the line, say (5, 50),

m = 50/5

m = 10

To write the equation, substitute m = 10 into y = mx

Thus:

y = 10x
