Final answer:

An equation representing the number of miles Eman can walk over any time interval with x as the variable for time in minutes is y = 2.0 × x.

Step-by-step explanation:

To write a two-variable equation representing the number of miles Eman can walk over any time interval, we can use the equation of a line. Given the provided information, the equation of the line is y = 2.0 × t, where y represents the distance in miles and t represents time in minutes. Hence, if we want to use x as the variable as requested, the equation would be written as y = 2.0 × x, with the understanding that x stands for the time in minutes that Eman has been walking.

\begin{gathered} \text{from the already solved part in the diagram, I have it there that the constant sp}eed\text{ Eman have is} \\ (2)/(35) \\ \text{Then, solving the question above}\ldots..i\text{ will say let:} \\ y\text{ represent the distance Eman walks in X minute.} \\ \text{speed = }\frac{Dis\tan ce}{\text{Time}} \\ \text{Speed = }(y)/(X) \\ (2)/(35)\text{ = }(y)/(X) \\ \text{Then by cross multiplying, we have} \\ 2\text{ }*\text{ X = 35 }* y \\ 2X\text{ = }35y \\ Dividing\text{ both sides by the coefficient of y which is 35: we have} \\ (2X)/(35)\text{ = y} \\ y\text{ = }(2X)/(35) \\ \\ \end{gathered}
