John can jog twice as fast as he can walk. He was able to jog the first mile to his grandmas house but then he got tired and wal

Answer:

  12 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between jogging speed and walking speed means the time it takes to walk 4 miles is the same as the time it takes to jog 8 miles. Then the total travel time (0.75 h) is the time it would take to jog 1+8 = 9 miles. The jogging speed is ...

  (9 mi)(.75 h) = 12 mi/h . . . average jogging speed

__

<em>Check</em>

1 mile will take (1 mi)/(12 mi/h) = 1/12 h to jog.

4 miles will take (4 mi)/(6 mi/h) = 4/6 = 8/12 h to walk.

The total travel time is (1/12 +8/12) h = 9/12 h = 3/4 h. (answer checks OK)

_____

<em>Comment on the problem</em>

Olympic race-walking speed is on the order of 7.7 mi/h, so John's walking speed of 6 mi/h should be considered quite a bit faster than normal. The fastest marathon ever run is on the order of a bit more than 12 mi/h, so John's jogging speed is also quite a bit faster than normal. No wonder he got tired.

What is the rate of change and initial value for the linear relation that includes the points shown in the table?
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

Initial value 12, rate of change: -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Find the rate of change

we know that

In a linear equation the rate of change is equal to the slope

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to  

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}  

we have

A(1,10)\ B(2,8)  

Substitute the values  

m=\frac{8-10}{2-1}

m=-2  ----> rate of change

Step 2

Find the initial value

The equation of  the line into slope-point form is equal to

y-y1=m(x-x1)

Substitute

y-10=-2(x-1)

y=-2x+2+10y=-2x+12

The initial value is the value of y when the value of x is equal to zero (is the y-intercept)

y=-2*0+12=12----> initial value
