FIRST CORRECT ANSWER GETS BRAINLIEST! Kate is planning a trip to the beach. She estimates her average speed to graph her expected progress on the trip. Write an equation in slope-intercept form that represents the situation.

slope (m):

y-intercept (b):

equation:

Slope = -60 miles per hour

y-intercept = 300 mi.

Equation of the line → y = -60x + 300

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equation representing relation between the distance to beach and time taken is,

y = mx + b

Where, m = slope of the line = Average speed of Kate

y = Distance to the beach

x = time taken

b = Distance from the beach at t = 0

Slope of a line joining points and is given by,

m =

Slope the line joining (5, 0) and (0, 300),

Slope 'm' = = -60 miles per hour

y intercept 'b' = 300 mi.

So the equation will be,

y = -60x + 300

its kind of blurry. can you put a clearer pic?

step-by-step explanation:

b. y = 4x - 2

step-by-step explanation:

to find a parallel equation to an equation, make sure both equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

y = 4x + 1

4 = slope

1 = y-intercept

y = 4x - 2

4 = slope

-2 = y-intercept

they both have the same slope but different y-intercepts, so, b. is the correct answer.

and to check your work, you can graph both equations. : )
