To determine the equations for each racer in y-intercept form (y = mx + b), I need the specific details about the racers such as their speeds (slope) and starting positions (y-intercept). Since you haven't provided any data for Baby Einstein, Toddler Newton, or Pre-teen Darwin, I can’t create precise equations for them.

However, I can show you how to format such equations if you have the required information:

  1. Baby Einstein:

    • Suppose Baby Einstein has a speed of 2.5 units per time unit and starts at position 0.
    • The equation would be: \[ y = 2.5x + 0 \]
    • So, in y-intercept form: \[ y = 2.5x \]
  2. Toddler Newton:

    • Suppose Toddler Newton has a speed of 3.0 units per time unit and starts at position 1.
    • The equation would be: \[ y = 3.0x + 1 \]
  3. Pre-teen Darwin:

    • Suppose Pre-teen Darwin has a speed of 4.5 units per time unit and starts at position 2.
    • The equation would be: \[ y = 4.5x + 2 \]

If you provide the specific data for Baby Einstein, Toddler Newton, and Pre-teen Darwin, I would be able to provide you with the accurate equations based on that information.
