Question

An atlas contains a map of Ohio. The table shows data from the key on the map.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The graph is attached

b) The table shows a linear relationship between x and y.

A linear equation is in the form y = mx + b, where y is a dependent variable, x is an independent variable, m is the rate of change (slope) and b is the value of y when x = 0.

x represent the distance on map in mm and y represent the actual distance in mile. The table (x, y) has the points (10, 25) and (20, 50). The equation is given by:

$y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} (x-x_1)\\\\y-25=\frac{50-25}{20-10} (x-10)\\\\y-25=2.5(x-10)\\\\y-25=2.5x-25\\\\y=2.5x$

The slope m = 2.5. This means that for every 1 mm on the map, the actual distance increases by 2.5 miles.

c) y = 2.5x

put x = 48 mm

y = 2.5(48)

y = 120 miles

The actual distance between Toledo and Columbus is 120 miles

d) y = 2.5x

Put y = 225 miles

225 = 2.5x

x = 225/2.5

x = 90 mm

The distance on map between Cincinnati and Cleveland is about 90 mm.
