Question

Joe walks on a treadmill at constant rate the equation below describes the relationship between t the time he walks in hours and d the distance he walks in milesThe equation for his journey is d=4t.Find the graph that represents the equation?how do i get the answer?

Answer 1

Given:

The equation that represents Joe's journey is :

`\begin{gathered} d\text{ = 4t} \\ Where\text{ t is the time} \\ and\text{ d id the distance travelled} \end{gathered}`

From the equation, we can determine that:

At t = 1 hr

`\begin{gathered} d\text{ = 4 }*\text{ 1} \\ =\text{ 4 miles} \end{gathered}`

At t = 2hrs:

`\begin{gathered} d\text{ = 4 }*\text{ 2} \\ =\text{ 8 miles} \end{gathered}`

At t = 3hrs:

`\begin{gathered} d\text{ = 4 }*\text{ 3} \\ =\text{ 12 miles} \end{gathered}`

We have the points (1, 4), (2, 8), (3, 12)

We can now check the options for the graph that has the points.

Checking through the options, we can see that the graph that has the points we have obtained is the chart A

Answer: Option A
