Answer: y = 2x + 14 x is the number of weeks. 14 (b) was his original performance in miles jogged per week. y is the expected performance.
Sketch attached.
Step-by-step explanation: Given John's current performance, it is likely that he was able to jog some number of miles per week, the "b" in slope-intercept form. To calculate:
30 = 2(8) + b
30 = 16 + b
30 - 16 = b
14 = b
Substitute into the slope intercept equation:
y = 2x + b
