Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form or
In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin
Let
m ----> the distance in miles (y-coordinate)
h ----> the time in hours (x-coordinate)
In this problem the constant of proportionality k is given and is equal to
----> the speed
substitute
