The equation y = 1.6x represents the number of laps Henry can swim over time, where y is the number of laps and x is time in minutes. The table shows the number of laps Larry can swim over time.

How many laps can each boy complete per minute, and who can swim laps at a faster rate?

Henry: laps per minute

Larry: laps per minute

The boy who swims at a faster rate is . (Type H for Henry or L for Larry)

@JuanitaM do i do 2.5-4/4.5-7.2?

anonymous · Answer

That would have you find the slope

anonymous · Answer

You could be onto something...Henry does 1.6 laps per minute (his slope)
using your slope early - determine that Larry slope is .675 - his laps per minute

anonymous · Answer

Note slope is change in Y over change in X...from directions...X is time in minutes
