Question
.Jeff and Lauryn are long-distance runners.

Jeff's race time, based on his average pace, is represented by the equation y=9x, where x is the number of miles and y is the number of minutes.

Lauryn's average pace is represented in this graph.


If Jeff and Lauryn run a 10k (a 6.2-mile race), who will win? Why?

Select two answers: one for the winner of the race and one for the reason they won.

Sagot :

Lauryn's race time equation is y = 10x. Thus,  Lauryn's pace is 10 minutes per mile, so Jeff is faster. Jeff will win.

How to determine who will win the race between Jeff and Lauryn?

Given that:

Jeff's race time is represented by the equation y=9x

You will find Lauryn's race time equation in the graph:

The equation of the line is of the form y = mx

where m is the slope

m = 20-0 / 2-0 = 20/2 = 10

Thus,  Lauryn's race time equation is y = 10x

For a 10k, the race time for Jeff will be:

y = 9x

y = 9×10 = 90 minutes

For a 10k, the race time for Lauryn will be:

y = 10x

y = 10×10 = 100 minutes

Therefore, Lauryn's pace is 10 minutes per mile, so Jeff is faster. Jeff wins.
