Answer: Marcus's walking speed is 4 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent Marcus's walking speed.

His speed on the bicycle is 6 mi/h faster than his walking speed. This means that his speed on the bicycle would be

x + 6

Time = distance/speed

Time spent by Marcus in walking 1 mile to the library is

1/x

Time spent by Marcus in bicycling 2.5 miles to the sporting good store is

2.5/(x + 6)

Since the time that he spends in walking to the library is about the same time that he spends in bicycling to the sporting good store, then

1/x = 2.5/(x + 6)

Cross multiplying, it becomes

1 × (x + 6) = 2.5 × x

x + 6 = 2.5x

2.5x - x = 6

1.5x = 6

x = 6/1.5 = 4

F(x) = 7x
ziro4ka [17]

The parent function is given by f(x)= 7x

and the transformation function is given by g(x)= 7x + 6

We can see that, 6 has been added to the function f(x) to get the function g(x).

We know that when we add some constant 'c' in the function then the function gets shifted upward by 'c' units.

Therefore, we will get g(x), when we will shift f(x) upward by 6 units.

Both functions are linear function hence, the asymptote of g(x) is the asymptote of f(x) shifted six units up.

D is the correct option.
