Question 245206: You are running in a marathon. You either run 8 miles per hour or walk 4 miles per hour. Write an equation to show the relationship between time ran and time walked during the 26.2 mile course and then graph the equation. I tried to use 8X + 4Y = 26.2 but it did not work out. If you could just help me get the right equation then I can do the graph and the following couple of problems which are all related to this equation.
Thanks in advance for your help!

I have to find the plots and graph, then find the point at which they intercept, if they do?
I'm new at this. Am I supposed to be using a graphing calculator to solve as I don't know how to use it.
When finding plots, is it best to always start with zero as I notice most equations have?
Thank you!
