Sam is observing the velocity of a car at different times. After two hours, the velocity of the car is 54 km/h. After four hours, the velocity of the car is 58 km/h.
Part A: Write an equation in two variables in the standard form that can be used to describe the velocity of the car at different times. Show your work and define the variables used. (5 points)
Part B: How can you graph the equation obtained in Part A for the first six hours? (5 points)

The question is up there
OpenStudy (bohotness):
say velocity = v, and time = t
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay but it says in standard form
OpenStudy (anonymous):
nope

start by finding the slope
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so y2-y1/x2-x1?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
slope is 1/2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2/1
OpenStudy (bohotness):
okay but its really (2,54) (4,58) 58-54=4/2= 2

so the required equation will be of form :
v=2t+b
you need to find b by plugging in one of the given points
OpenStudy (anonymous):
like what
OpenStudy (bohotness):
v=2t+50
OpenStudy (anonymous):
were did you get 50?
OpenStudy (bohotness):
form your slops
