Question

Janie walks 1 mile to get to a running track.she then runs at a speed of 3.5 miles per hour.Which linear models represents the total distance she ran and walked, d, as a function of t, the time she runs,in hours?

Answer 1

Answer:

d = 3.5t + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The linear function would have to multiply the speed she runs at the track by the number of hours that she spent running. Then it should add this amount to the 1 mile that she walked to get to the track. If we use the variable d as the total distance that she ran and walked, and the variable t to represent time then we would create the following linear function/model.

d = 3.5t + 1
