Yuri is 5 miles from home he walks home at a speed of 1.5 miles per hour. The variable x represents time in hours and y represents yuri's distance from home in miles. Which equation models this solution

Answer 1

1.5x= y

Explanation:

Speed = distance / time

The variable x represents time in hours and y represents yuri's distance from home in miles.

Therefore

Speed = y/ x

But distance = 5 miles and speed= 1.5 miles

1.5 = y/x

or

1.5x= y
