You run 9.1 miles in 1.3 hours at a steady rate. What equation represents the proportional relationship between the x hours you run and the distance y in miles that you travel?

y = 7x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

You run 9.1 miles in 1.3 hours at a steady rate

Distance y = 9.1 miles

Time x = 1.3 hours

The relationship between the distance y and the time x is the speed v;

Distance = speed × time

y = v×x 1

v = y/x

Substituting the given values;

v = 9.1/1.3

v = 7 miles/hour

To derive the equation that represents the proportional relationship between the x hours you run and the distance y in miles that you travel. We substitute v = 7 into equation 1;

y = 7x
