Question 178888
How do you graph the time and distance data for all three riders on the same coordinate axes if jose travels 5 miles each hour, mario travels 7 miles each hour and melanie travels 9 milles each hour going for 7 hours. this came from the investigations book for the 8th grade
--------------
Draw an x/y coordinate system
Let the x-axis be "time"; Let the y-axis be "distance".
---------
Each of the rates listed is the slope of a line:
Jose Equation: y = 5x
Mario Eq.....: y = 7x
Melanie Eq...: y = 9x
--------------------------
{{{graph(400,300,-10,10,-10,100,5x,7x,9x)}}}
