The equation of the line that describes the relationship between distance and time is (y = 62x) and this can be determined by using the definition of speed.
Given :
Car X travels 186 miles and 3 hours.
The following steps can be used to determine the equation of the line that describes the relationship between distance and time:
Step 1 - Let the total distance covered by car X be 'y' and the total time taken by car to cover that distance be 'x'.
Step 2 - The speed is given by the ratio of distance to time.
[tex]\rm Speed = \dfrac{Distance }{Time}[/tex]
Step 3 - Now, put the value of distance and time in the above equation.
[tex]\rm Speed = \dfrac{y}{x}[/tex] ---- (1)
Step 4 - According to the given data the speed is given by:
[tex]\rm Speed = \dfrac{186}{3} = 62\; miles/hour[/tex]
Step 5 - Now, put the value of speed in equation (1).
[tex]\dfrac{y}{x}= 62[/tex]
y = 62x
The equation of the line that describes the relationship between distance and time is (y = 62x).
