Jack rode his bike for 2 1/3 hours at a speed of 12 miles. the next 1 1/2 at a speed of 10 miles. how many miles did he cover altogether ?

Assuming he's going 12 miles per hour, and 10 miles per hour.

Firstly he rode his bike for 2 1/3 hours at 12 miles per hour, 
12 miles = 1 hour
24 miles = 2 hours
4 miles = 1/3 hour

He rode 28 miles in the first 2 1/3 hours.

Secondly, he rode his bike at the speed of 10 miles per hour for 1 1/2 hours
10 miles = 1 hour
5 miles = 1/2 hour

He rode his bike for 15 miles for the next 1 1/2 hours, together he rode his bike for 43 miles (28 + 15).

Abit confused about what you mean, but i think you might be referring to slope intercept form: y = mx + bin that case b, or the y intercept is already given.(0,-1)find the slope by using the formulay2 - y1/x2 - x1the final slope will be 4/2, equivalent to 2.now your equation should look like thisy = 4/2x -1sorry if this didn’t you out!
