The equation y = 43x represents the number of miles Alicia drives over time, where y is the number of miles and x is time in hours. The table shows the number of miles Trish drives over time.
How many miles does each woman travel per hour, and who drives at a slower rate?
Alicia: miles per hour
Trish: miles per hour
The woman who drives at a slower rate is . (Type A for Alicia or T for Trish)
Alicia : y = 43 x For x = 1 ( 1 hour ): y = 43 miles, v = 43 mph Trish: 69 = v * 1.5 v = 69 : 1.5 v = 46 mph Alicia: 43 mph Trish: 46 mph The woman who drives at a slower rate is : A ( Alicia )
