Question

A cheetah's speed was timed over a set distance. The cheetah was clocked running 60 miles per hour. Which equation is the relationship between the distance, y, and time, x, the cheetah runs?

Answer 1

Answer:

D. y=70x

Step-by-step explanation:

The cheetah was clocked running 70 miles per hour.

i.e. in 1 hour cheetah covered 70 miles

in 2 hours cheetah covered 140 miles

in 3 hours cheetah covered 210 miles

in general, in n hour cheetah covered 70n miles

If y denote the distance covered

and x denotes the time cheetah runs

Then, y=70x

Hence, the equation which shows the relationship between the distance, y, and time, x, the cheetah runs is:

D  y=70x
