STRUCTURE Jazmin is participating in a 25.5-kilometer charity walk. She walks at a rate of 4.25 km per hour. Jazmin walks at
the same pace for the entire event.
a. Write an equation in slope-intercept
form for the remaining distance y in kilometers of walking for x hours.
b. Graph the function.
c. What do the x- and y-intercepts represent
in this situation?
d. After Jazmin has walked 17 kilometers,
how much longer will it take her to complete the walk? Explain how you can use your graph to answer the question.

Respuesta :

Given the image in the question, the equation for the slope-intercept is given by:

[tex]y=25.5-4.25t[/tex]

Where 4.25 is the slope,

25.5 is the intercept,

y is the distance and

t is the time.

To answer question b:

The image above shows the graph for the function in question a.

Question c: To get the x and y intercept, this can be derived from the graph.

[tex]\begin{gathered} x\text{ intercept = }6.375 \\ y\text{ intercept = 25.5} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Question d: To get how much longer it will take her, we do the solution below:

[tex]\begin{gathered} y=25.5-4.25t \\ 17=25.5-4.25t \\ 17-25.5=-4.25t \\ -8.5=-4.25t \\ t=\frac{-8.5}{-4.25} \\ t=2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence, it will take her 2 hours to complete the walk.
