Luz drives at an average speed of 60 miles per hour.
She has driven for 2 hours and has traveled a distance of 120 miles.

This situation can be represented with a linear equation written in point-slope form, where x represents the number of hours and y represents the number of miles.

Use this information to complete each statement about the linear equation

Respuesta :

Answer:

1) This linear equation has a slope of 60

2) (2, 120)

3) [tex]y - 120 = m(x - 2)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

1) This situation represents a linear time-distance relationship where:

   x represents the time

   y represents the distance travelled

   Slope is equal to △y/△x

   Substituted form: [tex]\frac{120}{2}[/tex]

   Slope is equal to 60.

2) Using the statement:

She has driven for 2 hours and has traveled a distance of 120 miles, we know that knowing that x represents the time and y represents the distance:

A possible coordinate is (2, 120)

3) Using the point slope standard equation and our known values, we can substitute the values. The correct answer is  y - 120 = m(x - 2)
