2. The table shows distance, y, that Mario runs in x minutes.

Mario’s Running Speed

Time,

(min) Distance,

(mi)

7 | 1

21 | 3

35 | 5









(a) Based on the information in the table, write an equation that can be used to model the relationship between the time (x) and distance (y). Show your work.

(b) What is the rate of change for this linear relationship? Show your work.

(c) What is Mario’s distance given that he ran for 70 minutes? Show your work.

Answer:

Respuesta :

Assuming the left is minutes and the right is distance, Mario runs 1 mile in 7 minutes
(a) y=x/7
(b) the rate of change is 7
(c) if he ran for 70 minutes then his distance is 10 miles.
*for (c) just plug in the number given. Replace it with x and divide it by 7.*
