PAST DUE DATE NEED DONE NOW! NO LINKS! HELP ME FIND THE EQUATION

Mathematics

To write an equation for this line, you first need to understand how to derive it.

Let's utilize slope-intercept form, as it's the easiest to understand compared to any other form for line functions:

y = mx + b

m: The slope of the line

b: The y-intercept (The point where the line is at the y-axis)

Now that we've defined our variables, how do we go about making the actual equation? Let's start off with the slope, m.

The slope is a measure of how high or low the line is. The number is a ratio between the rise and run of a slope. In other words, it is essentially \frac{rise}{run}

Let's look back at the graph. In the time interval from 1 to 2 seconds, we see that the line rises by 22 feet. Because the time interval is only 1 second, the run is 1 second.

Therefore:

m = \frac{rise}{run}

m = \frac{22}{1}

m = 22

We now have the first variable of the equation.

y = 22x + b

What about b? As we established earlier, b is the value of coordinate y at the y-intercept. Essentially, to find b we need to know what the value of y is when the coordinate x is 0.

As you can see from the graph you made, the value of y when x is 0 is also 0. This makes sense, too. How can the cheetah travel distance at 0 seconds when it obviously hasn't started moving? We now know b = 0. Now, we have gotten all of the variables we need to make a full equation:

y = 22x + 0

y = 22x

If you'd like me to explain how I did anything, just ask!

Answer:

Equation: y=22x + 0 (you can put 0 if you want)

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, so this is set up as a y=mx+b equation meaning that m=rate of change and b=y-intercept. If a cheetah runs 22 feet per second which is x, that means that m=22. And if 1 second is equal to 22 feet then in 0 seconds they run 0 feet, which is your y-intercept. Another way to find the rate of change (m) is by using the equation y2-y1/x2-x1 or 44-22/1 in this case. This equation is usually written as y=22x.  Hope this helps!
