You can put this solution on YOUR website! Try a distance-time graph, when the velocity is constant. The equation would be d = vt, where d is the dependent (y) variable and t is the independent (x) variable. A specific example would be d = 6t.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Each chicken leg that you buy costs $1.50
0 chicken legs cost 0 dollars ~> (0,0)
1 chicken leg costs $1.50 ~> (1,1.5
y = 1.5x where x is the amount of chicken legs and y is the cost
