Two equations are written to express how far a car can go when driving on different roads. On Road 1, the car can go 60 miles in 2 hours. On Road 2, the car can go 90 miles in 4 hours. Write an equation where  y is the distance in miles and  x is the time in hours to represent the motion of the

1 answer

car on Road 1.

One possible equation to represent the motion of the car on Road 1 is:

y = 30x

This equation represents the car's distance (y) in miles as a function of time (x) in hours on Road 1. The equation assumes that the car maintains a constant speed of 30 miles per hour on Road 1.
