Question

Rachel is a stunt driver. One time, during a gig where she escaped from a building about to explode(!), she drove to get to the safe zone at 24 meters per second. After 4 seconds of driving, she was 70 meters away from the safe zone. Let y represent the distance (in meters) from the safe zone after x seconds. Complete the equation for the relationship between the distance and number of seconds.

Answer 1

Answer:

24x=y or 24x-y=0 or y-24x=0

Step-by-step explanation:

To Solve , here we use the formula for velocity:

Velocity = $\frac{Distance}{Time}$

As given in the statement, the distance is represented by Y and Time by X

So,

Distance = y meters

Time = x seconds

Velocity = $\frac{y}{x}$

The given velocity is 24 m/s

24=$\frac{y}{x}$

Cross multiplying:

24(x) = y

Moving x to the left hand side:

or 24x-y =0

Multiplying both sides by -1

or y-24x = 0

Note: The mentioned time 4 seconds and distance travelled 70 meters is not needed to calculate the relation between distance and number of seconds.

Answer 2

y=−24x+166
