On a bicycle, Kristen rides for 2 hours and is 18 miles from her house. After riding for 12 hours, she is 98 miles away.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Write an equation to model this situation (use m for miles and h for hours).
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Assuming constant speed:
\n" ); document.write( "--
\n" ); document.write( "Find the speed.
\n" ); document.write( "(98-18) miles/(12-2)hours = 8 mi/hr (between the 2 points)
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "For distance as a function of time:
\n" ); document.write( "m = 8*h + 18
\n" ); document.write( "========================
\n" ); document.write( "The 1st 2 hours she goes 18/2 = 9 mi/hr
\n" ); document.write( "That creates a non-linear function for the 12 hours.
\n" ); document.write( "More info needed to know what to do about that.
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
