Question 146686: using the y=mx +b equation
a runner runing at 9 mph burns 14 calories per minute. write an equation for the numberof calories burned by the runner n terms of the minutes run. use the equation to find the number of calories burned ater runing 32 minutes.
I dont thnk the 9 mph factors into this equation. I came up with y=14(32)+ 0
448 calories burned. Is this incorrect?
