Answer:
Part a)
Part b)
Step-by-step explanation:
Part a) Write an equation for T (d)
Let
d ----> the number of days
T ---> the time in minutes of the treadmill
we know that
The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to
where
m is the slope or unit rate
b is the y-intercept or initial value
In this problem we have
The slope or unit rate is
The y-intercept or initial value is
substitute
Part b) Find T (6), the minutes he will spend on the treadmill on day 6
For d=6
substitute in the equation and solve for T
Answer:
y=-5x+16
Step-by-step explanation:
Plug in the slope and point coordinates into point-slope form (attached in image)
(y-6)=-5(x-2)
1) Distribute -5 to x and -2:
y-6=-5x+10
2) Add 6 to both sides:
y=-5x+16
