Answer:

The equation is
y=(2)/(5) x .

Explanation:

Let
represent the number of laps Jay run, and
the number of minutes it takes him to run those laps.

We know that it it takes Jay 25 minutes to run 10 laps; therefore, the number of laps jay runs per minute is:

$(10\:laps)/(25\:minutes) =(2)/(5)\:laps/min$

So, if Jay runs for
minutes, the number of laps
he will run be:

$\boxed{y=(2)/(5)x}$
