Answer:

Please check the attached graph.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the line equation

[tex]y = mx+b[/tex]

where

  • m is the slope
  • b is the y-intercept

Given the equation

[tex]y = 4x[/tex]

Here:

x represents the distance x the tortoise 'runs' in miles for y miles the hare runs.

comparing with the slope-intercept form of the line equation

  • The slope m = 4
  • The y-intercept b = 0

The graph of the function is attached below.

As the hare runs 16 miles, so

y = 16 miles

so substitute y = 16 in the equation

y = 4x

16 = 4x

switch sides

4x = 16

divide both sides by 4

4x/4 = 16/4

x = 4

Therefore, when the hare runs 16 miles, the tortoise will run only 4 miles.

Please check the attached graph.
