Question

write an equation to represent the proportional relationshipnote use x for the independent variable and why for the dependent variable for the questionTyler swims at a constant speed 5 m every 4 seconds how long does it take him to swim 114 m enters?

Answer 1

We have the following:

We have that the independent variable would be the distance traveled and the dependent variable the time

$y=\frac{x}{\frac{5}{4}}=\frac{4}{5}x$

now, we calculate the time:

$\begin{gathered} y=\frac{4}{5}\cdot114 \\ y=91.2 \end{gathered}$

it would take a total of 91.2 seconds
