The equation y = 0.7x represents the distance Henry hikes in miles over time in hours. The graph represents the rate that Clark hikes. Determine which hiker is faster. Complete the explanation.

Henry’s unit rate is 0.7 miles per hour. Clark’s unit rate is 1.5 miles per hour . So, Ckark is faster.

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance covered by Henry is represented by y = 0.7x, where x = time (hrs), and y = distance (miles).

Distance covered in 1 hour by Henry would be:

y = 0.7(1) = 0.7 miles per hour

Distance covered by Clark in 1 hour = 1.5 miles per hour

Ckark covers more miles per hour than Henry covers in one hour, therefore, Ckark is faster.

Hope this helped!

Have a wonderful day!
