a. To find the rate at which meters are traveled every minute, we can calculate the difference in distance (y) for each consecutive pair of time values (x).
For the given values, the differences in distance are:
- Between x = 8 and x = 5: 664 - 415 = 249 meters
- Between x = 5 and x = 7: 415 - 581 = -166 meters
- Between x = 7 and x = 2: 581 - 166 = 415 meters
- Between x = 2 and x = 9: 166 - 747 = -581 meters
Therefore, the distances traveled for each minute of time vary and are not constant.
b. To write an equation to show the relationship between x and y, we can examine the pattern and determine the best fit function. However, without additional information or context, it is not possible to determine the specific relationship between the time (x) and distance (y) values.
c. Without knowing the equation or context, we cannot determine if the relationship is linear or non-linear. Similarly, we cannot determine the y-intercept without additional information or context.
