Respuesta :

Given

the constant speed.

the points 1 (1,8)

Point 2 (1.5, 10.1) ​

Procedure

y=mx+b

[tex]\begin{gathered} m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1} \\ m=\frac{8-10.1}{1-1.5} \\ m=\frac{-2.1}{-0.5}=4.2 \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} y=mx+b \\ 8=4.2(1)+b \\ 8-4.2=b \\ 3.8=b \end{gathered}[/tex]

the equation is: y=4.2x+3.8

The statements that are true are:

B. The rate of the change of the function is 4.2

D. The toy boat's speed on the lake is 4.2 feet per second

E. the toy boat is originally 3.8 feet from the shore of the lake
