Question

The equation y = 43x represents the number of miles Alicia drives over time, where y is the number of miles and x is time in hours. The table shows the number of miles Trish drives over time.

How many miles does each woman travel per hour, and who drives at a slower rate?

Trish: miles per hour

The woman who drives at a slower rate is . (Type A for Alicia or T for Trish)

Answer 1

43, 46, and slower

Explanation:

Answer 2

Alicia : y = 43 x
For x = 1 ( 1 hour ):
y = 43 miles, v = 43 mph
Trish: 69 = v * 1.5
v = 69 : 1.5
v = 46 mph
Alicia: 43 mph
Trish: 46 mph
The woman who drives at a slower rate is : A ( Alicia )
