To write a linear equation representing the distance Jordan has walked after \( x \) hours, we start by identifying the factors involved:
1. The rate at which Jordan hikes: \( 2 \) miles per hour.
2. The time spent hiking: \( x \) hours.
3. The distance walked can be calculated using the formula:
\[
\text{Distance} = \text{Rate} \times \text{Time}
\]
In this case, the rate is \( 2 \) miles per hour. Thus, the equation for the distance \( y \) Jordan has walked after \( x \) hours will be:
\[
y = 2x
\]
So the correct equation representing the distance Jordan has walked after \( x \) hours is:
**\( y = 2x \)**
