5)bianca can run 5 miles in 41 minutes assuming she runs at a constant rate write the linear equation that represents the situation
6)Geoff can mow an entire lawn of 450 square ft in 30 minutes.Assuming he mows at a constant rate,write the linear equation that represents the situation.
(TRY TO ANSWER ALL OF THEM!! write a linear equation for all:)

Answer 1

1) pages per minute is the rate. the rate is the slope pages/minutes = .4
y=.4x or y=2/5(x)
2)birdhouses per day is the slope. = .6
y=.6x or y=3/5(x)
3) miles per hour is the slope. 500/8=62.5
y=62.5x
4) square feet per minute is the slope. 40/9 =4.444444444
y=4.4444444444x or y=40/9(x)
5)miles per minutes is the rate. 5/41 is the slope. 
y=5/41(x)
6) the rate is square feet per minute. 450/30=15
y=15x
