Think of it as a normal linear equation first. Let's find the slope.
m = rise/run = (3-1)/(0-1) = -2
We know the slope is negative now, so we can immediately get rid of the first two answers. Now, we know that the solutions must be under the line itself, so we can try figuring it out by testing some points. Let's use (0,0).
Is 0 </> 0+3? Since it's <, then we know the last answer is correct (y < -2x + 3).
Answer:
y-intercept: (0,-3)
Step-by-step explanation:
- Y-intercepts mean that the x-value has to be equal to 0. When plugging in 0 for the x-value, we receive:
- Therefore, the point is (0,-3).
1 hour = 60 minutes, so 3 hours = 3 * 60 = 180 minutes.
Her total time was 3 hours and 28 minutes, so 180 + 28 = 208 minutes.
Divide her total time by total miles run:
208 minutes / 26 miles = 8 minutes per mile.
