Answer 1

Answer:

Please check the attached graph.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the line equation

$y = mx+b$

where

• m is the slope

• b is the y-intercept

Given the equation

$y = 4x$

Here:

x represents the distance x the tortoise 'runs' in miles for y miles the hare runs.

comparing with the slope-intercept form of the line equation

• The slope m = 4

• The y-intercept b = 0

The graph of the function is attached below.

As the hare runs 16 miles, so

y = 16 miles

so substitute y = 16 in the equation

y = 4x

16 = 4x

switch sides

4x = 16

divide both sides by 4

4x/4 = 16/4

x = 4

Therefore, when the hare runs 16 miles, the tortoise will run only 4 miles.
