Answer:
Make a table with values of x and y using the equation y + 3 = -1/4(x - 3) :
x y
0 -2.25
3 -3
5 -3.5
-1 -2
-9 0
Now, graph these and draw a line through the points:
72 is the denominator because 24 multiplied by 3 is 72 and 18 multiplied by 4 is 72
The racer take 4 hours (between 8:00 to 12:00) to race 3/4 of 6 miles
3/4 of 6 miles = 18/4 = 4.5 miles
4 hours ⇒ 4.5 miles
1 hour ⇒ 4.5 ÷ 4 = 1.125 miles
The time taken to complete 6 miles = 6 ÷ 1.125 = 16/3 hours = 5.3 hours
9.61 - 4.02 = 5.59
