Answer:
y = - 6x - 57
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
here m = - 6, thus
y = - 6x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute (- 9, - 3) into the partial equation
- 3 = 54 + c ⇒ c = - 3 - 54 = - 57
y = - 6x - 57 ← equation of line
The slope of the line on the graph represents Pete's speed. That slope is 8 miles/hour.
Paul walks 2 miles in 0.4 hours, so walks at (2/0.4) miles/hour = 5 miles/hour.
a) Pete is moving at a greater rate.
b) At 8 miles per hour, it takes Pete (2 mi)/(8 mi/h) = 1/4 h = 15 minutes to get to school. If Pete leaves 5 minutes later than Paul, he will reach school 20 minutes after Paul starts, while Paul is still 4 minutes away from the school.
Yes, Pete will catch Paul before they get to school.
