Sarah runs 3 miles every 24 minute. She has already 5 miles

Question

Needs to be in a graph form

 

Answer 1

She runs at a constant rate of (1/8) miles per minute.  This is the slope of the line.  So your graph will be represented by the equation

 

y = (1/8)x

 

where:

x = time (minutes)

y = distance (miles)

 

The first point on the graph is the y-intercept (0,0).  Then second point will be (5, 5/8).

 

Plot the points (0, 0) and (0, 5/8) on a coordinate grid.  Then connect the two points in a straight line, starting from the point (0, 0).
