Question

The equation y = 5x represents the amount of miles Fran runs in x days. When a graph of this situation is drawn, what does the point (1, 5) on the graph represent? (asap if possible)

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is "in one day, Fran runs 5 miles"

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine the answer, I have attached an image that shows the graph of the equation. We know that "x" represents days and "y" represents miles that Fran runs.

In any function, the pairs of coordinates are represented by (x,y) that belong to the function.

So in this case, the pair (1,5) represents:

x=1

y=5

It means, in one day Fran runs 5 miles.

Answer 2

so y=5x on a graph is going to look like a 5/1 slope. X represents days and Y represents miles. So (1,5) means in 1 day Fran runs 5 miles.
