Question

Jordan will hike the trail shown at a rate of 4mi/h. Write a linear equation to represent the distance Jordan still has to walk after x hours. What does the y-intercept of the equation represents?

Answer 1

We are given rate of hike the trail = 4 miles/hour.

Let us assume number of hours Jordan still has to walk = x.

We know, relation among rate, time and distance is given by formula:

Distance = rate × time.

Let us take distance by variable y.

Therefore, we get the equation for distance :

y = 4x.

y-intercept of the equation represents the distance Jordan has walked so far.

Answer 2

Answer:

y = - 4 x + 20

Explanation:

The trail is 20 miles

Each hour you go 4 miles, so you subtract that each hour
