Mr. Walker was hiking across Massachusetts. He has three days to cover 70 miles. On the first day, he walked 6 hours at a speed of 4 mph. On the second day he walked the same number of hours, but his speed was only 3 mph. On the third day, he walked 8 hours to cover the remaining distance. What was his speed on the third day?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: so 6 hours at 4 miles per hour
4 miles per hour means 4 mieles in one hour
6 hours
distance=time times (distance pers unit of time)
distance=6 times 4=24

second day
same number of hours=6
speed=3

distance=time times (distance per units of time)
distance=6 times 3=18

so we add 1 and 2 days together
24+18=42
so he has covered 42 mles
he eed to cover 70
70=42+rest
subtract 42
28=rest

so he traveled 28 miles on third day
in 8 hours
sppeed=distance divided by time
time=8
distance=28
28/8=14/4=7/2=3 and 1/2 miles per hour=3.5 miles per hour

answer is 3.5 miles per hour

Okay, let's see...

The problem is asking for a linear equation most likely in the form of y=mx+b

y is another way to say f(x)

m = slope

b = y intercept

Let's start with the y intercept first.

Y intercept means ' When does the line touch (intercept) the y axis.

In this case, if you look at the graph, the line touches the y axis at -1.

-1 will replaces b

To find the slope we are going to take 2 precise points from the graph.

Lets use (0,-1) and (-6,4)

To find the slope, we're going to use $((y_(2) -y_(1) ))/((x_(2) -x_(1) ))$

4 - (-1) / -6 - 0

Solve, our slope is 5/-6

That is our m

Our final equation is

$f(x)=(-5)/(6) x -1$
