Using the given information and what we know about linear equations, we will find the sketch below.
<h3>How to sketch a graph?</h3>Here we need to analyze each part separately.
In a coordinate axis where the y-axis represents distance and the x-axis represents time, we will have that:
First, we know that he rides for 30 minutes at a given speed, this will be represented with an increasing linear function.
Then he stops for 20 minutes, this is represented with a horizontal line.
Finally, he returns the motion, but slower than before, so the slope of this line will be smaller than the first one.
So for 0 to 30 we have an increasing linear equation, then for 30 to 50 we have a constant horizontal line, then for 50 to 80 we have another increasing linear equation
The sketch can be seen below.
If you want to learn more about linear equations, you can read:
Slope-intercept form of a line is y=mx+b.
Where m= slope and b= y-intercept.
First step is to compare the given equation y=35x+8 with the above equation to get the value of m.
After comparing the two equations we will get m=35.
Slope of paralle lines always equal which means slope of a line which is parallel to the above line will also be 35.
Now the line is passing through (-10,4).
Point slope form of a line is :
Next step is to plug in m=35, x1=-10 and y1=4 in the above equation. So,
y-4=35(x-(-10)
y-4=35(x+10)
y-4=35x+350
y=35x+350+4
y=35x+354.
So, the equation of the line is y=35x+354.
