a whale swims an average of 3mph.Write a linear equation that gives the distance y in miles that the whale swims in x hrs. Then graph the relationship

Question

Distance equals rate multiplied by time

Answer 1

distans=3x, x in ours

........

Answer 2

The function y=3x gives the distance in miles the whale swims in x hours.

The graph is a straight line starting at the origin (0,0) and with a positive slope of 3 which can be fixed by plotting one point (for example, (5,15)) and joining the point to the origin.
