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( "x is the distance.
\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( "
\n" );
