Question

For a charity event, Jean biked at a fixed speed from Pine Bluff to Newberry. The graph shows the distance she rode along the y-axis and the amount of time it took along the x-axis. The proportionality constant (y to x) is.

Answer 1

The average speed or proportionality constant (y to x) of Jean biking from Pine Buff to Newberry to go to the charity event was 15 miles per hour

Explanation:

1. Let's review the information provided to us to answer the question correctly:

Distance from Pine Bluff to Newberry (y axis) = 75 miles

Time it took Jean to rode her bicycle (x axis) = 5 hours

2. The proportionality constant (y to x) is?

We can calculate the answer this way:

Proportionality constant (y to x) = Distance from Pine Bluff to Newberry (y axis)/Time it took Jean to rode her bicycle (x axis)

Substituting with the real values, we have:

Proportionality constant (y to x) = 75/5

Proportionality constant (y to x) = 15 miles per hour

The average speed or proportionality constant (y to x) of Jean biking from Pine Buff to Newberry to go to the charity event was 15 miles per hour
