Kendra is a blind marathon runner training for the Junior
Paralympics. Kendra's coach graphs a line representing
Kendra's distance from the start over the first 10 minutes of a
practice 5K race. What is the slope of the line? What equation
could you use to find y, Kendra's distance from the start after
x minutes?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Slope = [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

Equation of the line is [tex]y=\frac{x}{5}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given question is incomplete; find the complete question in the attachment.

Since the given line passes through two points (5, 1) and (10, 2),

Slope of the given line = [tex]\frac{(y_{2}-y_{1})}{(x_{2}-x_{1})}[/tex]

m = [tex]\frac{(2-1)}{(10-5)}[/tex]

m = [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

Since the given line passes through (10, 2), equation of the line will be

y - y' = m(x - x')

[tex]y - 2=\frac{1}{5}(x-10)[/tex]

[tex]y=2+\frac{x}{5}-2[/tex]

[tex]y=\frac{x}{5}[/tex]

Therefore, equation that can be used to find the distance y from the start after x minutes will be [tex]y=\frac{x}{5}[/tex]
