Answer:
1 page typed in 6 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
The given points are:
(48, 8) and;
(120, 20)
Convert 2 hours to 60⋅2=120 minutes
The rate of typing is
[tex]\frac{8}{48}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex] pages/minute
and this agrees with the second point:
[tex]\frac{20}{120}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex] pages/minute
The equation will have to form:
y=m⋅x where m is the slope of the line.
In this case, m = [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex] , so the equation is:
[tex]y=(\frac{1}{6})*x[/tex]
From this you can see that when x = 6, y = 1, and that is 1 page typed in 6 minutes.
