Question 1101387: Please help me solve this problem. Today is the mega Race. To compete with Aaron are Bea, Carl, Donna, and Fred. Who's going to win the race?
1. Aaron rides at a constant rate of 2 meters per second.
2. Bea can ride her skateboard 1 meter per second. Can she beat Aaro if she had a 3-meter head start?
3. Carl rides 3 meters every 4 seconds and wants a 2-meter head start.
4. Donna estimates that she rides 3 meters in 3 seconds and will get a 5-meter head start.
5. Fred Usually rides 1 meter in 4 seconds and wants a 6-meter head start.
Write an equation in terms of x and y, showing the distance each rider travels. Let x represent time in seconds and y represent the distance in meters.
Use a table to organie your informationn. Find the slope of the equation for each rider.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Today is the mega Race. To compete with Aaron are Bea, Carl, Donna, and Fred. Who's going to win the race?
Aaron is the fastest so he will win it, he will be ahead after 10 meters
In 5 seconds A & D will be tied, each at 10 meters
:
1. Aaron rides at a constant rate of 2 meters per second.
2. Bea can ride her skateboard 1 meter per second. Can she beat Aaro if she had a 3-meter head start?
3. Carl rides 3 meters every 4 seconds and wants a 2-meter head start.
4. Donna estimates that she rides 3 meters in 3 seconds and will get a 5-meter head start.
5. Fred Usually rides 1 meter in 4 seconds and wants a 6-meter head start.
Write an equation in terms of x and y, showing the distance each rider travels. Let x represent time in seconds and y represent the distance in meters.
:
A: y = 2x, slope is 2
B: y = 1x + 3; slope is 1
C: y = .75x + 2; slope is .75
D: y = 1x + 5; slope is 1
F: y = .25x + 6; slope is .25
Use a table to organie your informationn. Find the slope of the equation for each rider.
