the distance (d) you bike varies directly with the amount of time (t) you bike.
suppose you bike 13.2 mi in 1.25 hours.
what is an equation that relates d and t? what is the graph of this equation?
:
Since we are starting from the origin (0,0), we can determine the slope to be,
hence the equation:
d = t
looks like this

You can see when t = 1.25 hrs, d = 13.2 mi (green line),
