A cheetah runs 75 miles per hour. It has already ran 150miles. Write a linear equation that shows how far thecheetah will run in h hours. Let d stand for the totaldistance it will run.
Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:The linear equation is [tex]d=75h+150[/tex]Step-by-step explanation:we know thatThe linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]wherem is the slopeb is the y-intercept (initial value)Letd ----> the total distanceh ----> the time in hoursThe equation will be[tex]d=mh+b[/tex]we haveThe speed of the cheetah is the slope of the linear equation[tex]m=75\frac{mi}{h}[/tex]The y-intercept (initial value ) is equal to[tex]b=150\ mi[/tex]substitute[tex]d=75h+150[/tex]
