Question

Write an equation in the form y=mx for the following situation. Then give the three ordered pairs associated with the equation for x-values of 0, 5, and 10.

x represents the number of hours traveling at 60 mph, and y represents the distance traveled (in miles).
What is the equation?

Answer 1

y = 60x

(0, 0)

(5, 300)

(10, 600)

Explanation:

since x is the number of hours, 60 will represent m.

y = 60x.

Plug in x values.

Plug in 0 and get a y of 0. (0,0)

Plug in 5 and get a y of 300. (5, 300)

Plug in 10 and get a y of 600. (10, 600)
