Algebra.Com's Answer #829712 by Theo(13342)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! rate * time = distance \n" ); document.write( "solve for rate to get: \n" ); document.write( "rate = distance / time \n" ); document.write( "let y = rate and x = distance and time = 2 and the formula becomes: \n" ); document.write( "y = x / 2 \n" ); document.write( "that's your formula for average train speed in terms of x. \n" ); document.write( "that equation can be graphed as shown below. \n" ); document.write( " ![]() \n" ); document.write( "when x = 100, y = 100/2 = 50 miles per hour \n" ); document.write( "when x = 150, y = 150/2 = 75 miles per hour. \n" ); document.write( "time in this equation is always 2 hours. \n" ); document.write( " |
