Question

Train A can travel a distance of 600 miles in 8 hours. Assuming the train travels at a constant rate, write the linear equation that represents the situation

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation

(distance) = (rate) times ( time)

d=r times t

d= distance in miles

r= rate in mi/hr.

t=time in hours

r = 600/8

r = 75t

Answer 2

y = 75x

Explanation:

If the train travels 600 miles in 8 hours, 600/8 gives us the hourly rate. 600/8 = 75 mph

Therefore, y = 75x

Answer: y = 75x
