Byron’s workout starts with a
warmup at home, and then he runs
at 4 mi/h. After half an hour of
running, he is 2 miles from home.
What is an equation in point-slope form that represents Byron’s
distance from home, y, after
x hours?

Respuesta :

Answer:

An equation in point-slope form that represents Byron’s  distance from home, y, after  x hours is y=4x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of Byron = 4 miles / hour

Distance traveled in x hours = [tex]Speed \times time[/tex]

Distance traveled in x hours = 4x

We are given that After half an hour of  running, he is 2 miles from home

So, Total distance = 4x+2

So, y = 4x+2

Hence an equation in point-slope form that represents Byron’s  distance from home, y, after  x hours is y=4x+2
