Question

The table represents the total miles traveled, y, after a number of hours, x. Which linear equation represents the situation?

A. y=60x
B. y=60x+480
C. y=4x+240
D. y=270x

Answer 1

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:
150/2.5 = 60
y= 60x

Answer 2

The correct answer is A! y=60x

Because when you take the number on the left side (hours, x) and multiply it by 60, you’ll get the answer in the right side (mile, y).


Like for example:

2.5 hour x 60 = 150 miles
