The equation of a line is written in form y = Mx+ b
M is the slope, also known as the gradient.
You are given the gradient and one point , which is an x and y value. Using that solve for b:
1. Gradient = 2, x = 4, y= 3
3 = 2(4) + b
3 = 8 + b
Subtract 8 from both sides:
B = -5
The equation becomes y = 2x-5
2. Gradient = -3, x= -1, y = 7
7 = -3(-1) + b
7 = 3 + b
Subtract 3 from both sides:
B = 4
Equation becomes: y = -3 +4
1/2 / 3 = 1/2 x 1/3 = 1/6
each person will get 1/6 lb of chocolate
It would take 2.8 hours ((3.5 hours x 2.4 Mph)/3Mph) hours for Max to cover the same route walking 3 mph. This problem can be solved by using the velocity equation which is the velocity is equal a change in position divided by a change of time. The amount of time can be found assuming that Max walks in a constant velocity from the starting point until the finish point of 8.4 miles distance (3.5 hours x 2.4 mph)<span>.</span>
