You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The answer is D) y = 20x\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "When x = 2 seconds, y = 20x = 20*2 = 40 feet
\n" ); document.write( "When x = 3 seconds, y = 20x = 20*3 = 60 feet
\n" ); document.write( "When x = 4 seconds, y = 20x = 20*4 = 80 feet\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Notice how I plugged each x value in and got the corresponding y value out to confirm the answer.\r
