Question

John and Tyrone each go for a morning jog before work. John's jogging pace

Answer 1

Answer:

Tyrone's rate is 1 more mile per hour than John's

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$y = 5x$ --- John number of jog

See attachment of Tyrone's number of jog

Required

Select the true option

From the attached graph, we have:

$(x_1,y_1) = (0,0)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (2,12)$

Calculate the slope (m); i.e. unit rate

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 -x_1}$

$m = \frac{12 - 0}{2 -0}$

$m = \frac{12}{2}$

$m = 6$

For John, we have:

$y = 5x$

A linear equation is represented as:

$y = mx+ c$

Where m represents the unit rate. So, by comparison;

$m = 5$

$m = 5$ --- John unit rate

$m = 6$ --- Tyrone unit rate

Option B is correct because Tyrone's rate is 1 more mile per hour than John's

i.e. 6 - 5 = 1
