Question

the equation y=0.5x represents the distance henry hikes, in miles, over time, in hours. the graph represents the rate that clark hikes. determine which hiker is faster. explain.

Answer 1

I think there's supposed to be a picture here. Anyway, you can find out by finding the slope of the line on the graph and comparing it to .5 which is Henry's slope. If the graphed slope is larger than .5 then Clark hikes faster, if it is less than .5, Henry hikes faster.

Hope this helps :)
