A cheetah’s speed was timed over a 100- yard distance. The cheetah was clocked running 70 miles per hour. Which equation shows the relationship between the distance, y, and time, x, the cheetah runs?

A y=100x C y=100x+70

B y=70x+100 D y=70x

Verified Answer :

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

The cheetah was clocked running 70 miles per hour.

i.e. in 1 hour cheetah covered 70 miles

in 2 hours cheetah covered 140 miles

in 3 hours cheetah covered 210 miles

in general, in n hour cheetah covered 70n miles

If y denote the distance covered

and x denotes the time cheetah runs

Then, y=70x

Hence, the equation which shows the relationship between the distance, y, and time, x, the cheetah runs is:

D  y=70x

MrRoyal

Speed is the rate of change of distance over time.

The equation that shows the relationship is \(y = 70x\)

The given parameters are:

Distance = 100 yards

Speed = 70 miles per hour

Speed is calculated as:

\(Speed = Distance / Time\)

So, we have:

\(70 = y/x\)

Multiply both sides by x

\(y = 70x\)

Hence, the equation that shows the relationship is \(y = 70x\)
