Respuesta :

The slope is given by the formula:

[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are two points on the line. Looking at the table we can choose the first two points, that is, (2,110) and (5,275), then the slope is:

[tex]m=\frac{275-110}{5-2}=\frac{165}{3}[/tex]

This can be simplified, since 165 is a multiple of 3, then m=55.

Now that we have the slope, we can express the distance traveled y in terms of the hours x. Using the formula

[tex]y=mx[/tex]

we have that:

[tex]y=3x[/tex]
