Arsham is training for a race. After 15 minutes, he has 22 laps left to run. After 45 minutes he has 2 laps left. What is the total number of laps Arsham ran?


*After 45 minutes has nothing to do with the question*

He basically runs all but 2 laps meaning he runs 20 laps.

Answer:

Laps rum = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Arsham is training for a race.

After 15 minutes, he has 22 laps left to run (15,22)

After 45 minutes he has 2 laps left (45,2)

x-axis : represents number of minutes

y-axis : represents number of laps

Using two point formula:

[tex]y-22=\dfrac{22-2}{15-45}(x-15)[/tex]

[tex]y-22=-\dfrac{2}{3}(x-15)[/tex]

[tex]y=-\dfrac{2}{3}x+32[/tex]

Total number of laps when x=0

So, put x=0 into equation

[tex]y=-\dfrac{2}{3}\cdot 0+32[/tex]

[tex]y=32[/tex]

Hence, Total number of lap Arsham ran 32
