Me ! sandy is observing the velocity of a runner at different times. after one hour, the velocity of the runner is 4 km/h. after two hours, the velocity of the runner is 2 km/h. part a: write an equation in two variables in the standard form that can be used to describe the velocity of the runner at different times. show your work and define the variables used. part b: how can you graph the equations obtained in part a for the first 4 hours?

Use the given times and velocities to make two points:  (1,4) and (2,2)   

Part A: 

Slope is the change in Y over the change in X from the two pints you made:

 Slope =  (2-4) / (2-1 )= -2

Now you have the slope, calculate the Y-intercept

y = -2x + b

Using (1,4)

4 = -2(1) + b = 4 =-2 +b. b = 6

 Equation is: y = -2x+6

Part B:

using the above equation replace x with 1, 2, 3, and 4 and solve for the Y

 then plot those onto a graph

step-by-step explanation:

1. practice, practice & more practice

2. review errors

3. master the key concepts

do not try to memorise the processes.

4. understand your doubts.

5. create a distraction free study environment

6. create a mathematical dictionary

7. apply maths to real world problems.

the answer is simply just 6n add the two together as they have an n
