Question 1104815: Peter walks 3 minutes at a constant rate and travels 330 meters.
If we graph this relationship with time along the x-axis and distance along the y-axis, the slope of the line representing this relationship is
.
If Peter walks for an hour, the point on the line that represents the distance he walks with respect to time is
.

let r be Peter's rate, then
:
r * 3 = 330
:
r = 110 meters / minute
:
let y be distance(meters) and x(minutes) be time, then
:
y = 110x
:
1 hour is 60 minutes
:
y = 110(60) = 6600 meters
:
the point is (60, 6600)
:
here is a plot of the line y = 110x
