As part of a new fitness plan, Sabir runs on a treadmill at the same speed for 15 minutes every morning. The table shows the calories he burns over time.

Time (in minutes) 3 , 6, 9, 12,

Number of calories
Burned 15, 30, 45, 60,

Write an equation to represent the relationship between the time Sabir runs and the number of calories he burns. Use x as the independent variable and y as the dependent variable.

1 answer

note that as x increases by 3, y increases by 15. So, the slope is 15/3=5

y = 5x
