Answer <u>(assuming it can be in slope-intercept form)</u>:
Step-by-step explanation:
1) First, find the slope of the line by using the slope formula, 
. Substitute the x and y values of the given points into the formula and solve:
So, the slope is 
.
2) Now, use the point-slope formula 
to write the equation of the line in point-slope form. Substitute real values for the 
, 
, and 
in the formula.
Since represents the slope, substitute in its place. Since and represent the x and y values of one point the line intersects, choose any one of the given points (either one is fine, it will equal the same thing at the end) and substitute its x and y values into the formula as well. (I chose (0, -7), as seen below.) Then, isolate y to put the equation in slope-intercept form and find the following answer:
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Substitute the x value into the right side of the function and if the value obtained is equal to the y value of the point then it is a solution.
(0, - 4) → y = 5(0) - 4 = 0 - 4 = -4 ← True
(2, 6) → y = 5(2) - 4 = 10 - 4 = 6 ← True
(4, 20) → 5(4) - 4 = 20 - 4 = 16 ← False
(4, 16) → 5(4) - 4 = 20 - 4 = 16 ← True
(0, - 4), (2, 6), (4, 16) ← possible inputs and outputs
to average 60 mph for 2 laps his total speed needs to equal 60 x 2 = 120
his first lap was 40 so his 2nd lap needs to be 120-40 = 80 mph
