Problema Solution

Write an equation in the form y=mx for the following situation. Then give the three ordered pairs associated with the equation for x-values of 0,5 and 10. x represents the time spent traveling and y represents the distance traveled in miles.

Answer provided by our tutors

Let the equation be y=4x

 

If x=0, y=0

If x=5, y=4*5=20

If x=10, y=4*10=40

Therefore, three ordered pairs are (0,0), (5,20) and (10,40).
