Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information provided we can create the following direct proportion equation...

D = 3.5x

In this equation, the variable D represents the distance that Brianna has walked while the variable x represents the number of hours she walked. In this equation, the constant of proportionality would be the 3.5 miles that Brianna walks per mile. This value affects the entire equation because it is multiplied by the number of hours Brianna walks which is directly proportional to the Distance she travels, as one value increases so does the other.
