k = 3

let distance walked be d and time be t

since distance varies directly with time then

d = kt ← k is the constant of variation

k = \frac{d}{t}

note that 2 \frac{1}{4} = \frac{9}{4}, hence

k = \frac{9}{4} / \frac{3}{4} = 3

The distance depends on the time.

So now we need to find the constant of variation or the constant of proportionality.

To do so we must find y(the dependent variable) and x(the independent variable).

To find the constant(k) we must find y/x

Since y/x=k

Then 2.25/.75=k

k=3

Answer:

y=-3/2x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this you need to graph the points and then draw a line threw them. The place where the line crosses through the y-intercept is the value for b in y=mx+b.
