After 2 minutes an ant traveled 100 meters and after 6 minutes the ant traveled 220 meters.
(a)
Assuming a linear equation can be used to model the change in distance traveled over time between 2 and 6 minutes, write this linear model in slope
intercept form:
-------------------
You have 2 points:: (2,100) and (6,220)
slope:: (220-100)/(6-2) = 120/4 = 30
-----
Form: y = mx + b
Solve for "b":
100 = 30*2 + b
b = 40
-------
Equation:
y = 30x + 40
================
