A cyclist rides 1.5 miles to the bike trail. She then rides at an average speed of 8.5 miles

of t, the time she spends on the trail, in hours?

Answer :

What is a linear equation?

A relationship between two or more parameters that, when shown on a graph, produces a linear model. The degree of the variable will be one.

The linear equation is given as,

y = mx + c

Where m is the slope of the line and c is the y-intercept of the line.

Let t be the number of hours and d be the total distance covered (in miles).

A cyclist rides 1.5 miles to the bike trail. She then rides at an average speed of 8.5 miles per hour on the trail.

Then the linear model that represents the total distance covered by her will be

d = 8.5t + 1.5

The linear model that represents the total distance covered by her will be d = 8.5t + 1.5.
