Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
Both horses travel 0 miles in 0 minutes. We can see this on the graph where both lines start at the 0 in the bottom left corner. For the purpose of writing the equations this also shows us that the y-intercept is 0. In a slope-intercept equation, y=mx+b, that number is the b. b is zero in both equations, so we don't need to write anything for that.
For horse A, we can see on the graph that at 4 minutes, horse A has traveled 1 mile. Also, confirming this rate, at 8 minutes, it went 2 miles. This will help us find the rate. The rate will be the number we fill in for the m in the y=mx+b equation. Horse A goes 1mile every 4 minutes. That is a rate of 1/4 miles per minute. So Horse A's equation will be
y = (1/4)x You can make it more *intuitive* possibly by using m for miles and t for time instead, like this:
m = (1/4)t
Horse B is a little bit faster, and you can see this bc the line is a little bit steeper. It goes 2 miles in 5 minutes (confirm you can see it goes 4 miles in 10 minutes)
So Horse B's equation is
y = (2/5)x
or miles = (2/5)time
Mathematically, the equations are the same whether you use x,y or m,t
If Horse A runs for 12 minutes then it will run
miles = (1/4)minutes
miles = (1/4)(12)
miles = 3
If Horse B runs for 12 minutes, then it will run
miles = (2/5)minutes
miles = (2/5)12
miles = 4.8
Step-by-step explanation:(2-4)^4 4-9/3
(-1)^4 (4)-9/3
1(4) - 9 / 3
4-3
=1
1st equation should be multiplied with 3
6x+9y=24
-6x+4y=11
________
13y=35
y=35/13
2x+3y=8...1
put y=35/13 in 1
2x+3(35/13)=8
26x+105=104
26x=-1
x=-1/26
