Answer:
I think if it takes me 8 hours then it will surely take him 8 hours
Since slope intercept is y=mx+b, you first want to get rid of the 2x by subtracting it from both sides. after, you should end up with 4y=16-2x or 4y=-2x+16, they both are the same, but some teachers might prefer the slope first. after that, you want to get the y alone, so you divide everything by 4. you should end up with the slope intercept form being y=-2/4x+4, simplified to y=-1/2x+4.
We will be using the formulas:
speed=distance/time
time=distance/speed
distance=speed×time
First let's find out Diane's rate of swimming. We can measure this by finding the slope (y/x) of a given coordinate on the graph. One point is (10,15), so you do 15/10=1.5m/s
Now for Rick's rate of swimming, just take a pair of values from the table. 12.5/10=1.25m/s
By the way m/s is metres per second for this
So at a constant speed of 1.5m/s, Diane swam 150m in 150/1.5= 100 seconds, or 1 minute 40 seconds
And at a constant speed of 1.25m/s, Rick swam 150m in 150/1.25= 120 seconds, or 2 minutes.
So the difference between their two times is 20 seconds
