a.
\Write and graph the linear equation that gives the distance in kilometers in terms of the number
in miles.
Write a linear equation.
\Observe the table:
\The two ordered pairs represent the number in miles and distance in killometers are and
.
Find the slope.
\.
(Formula for slope)
(Substitute
and
)
(Subtract:
and
)
(Simplify)
Therefore, the slope is .
Consider the ordered pair is and
.
Point slope form of the equation of a line is .
Write a linear equation.
\ (Formula for Point-slope for line equation)
(Substitute
and
)
(Distributive property:
)
(Add
to each side)
(Apply additive inverse property:
)
Therefore, the linear eqaution is .
Graph:
\Graph of the equation is .
Observe the graph:
\The function is a linear function.
\b.
\Find the distance in kilometers to .
(Original equation)
(Substitute
)
(Multiply)
Hence, corresponds to
.
c.
\What number is the same in kilometers and miles.
\.
Because this is the point on the graph where the -value and the
-value are the same.
a. The linear equation is .
b. corresponds to
.
c. number is the same in killometers and miles.
