The number of miles Melody rides her bicycle, m, varies directly with the amount of time spent riding the bike, t. When Melody bikes for 1.5 h, she travels 10.5 mi. Which equation shows this direct linear variation?

m = 15.75t

m = 12t

m = 7t

m = 10.5t

The number of miles Melody rides her bicycle, m, varies directly with the amount of time spent riding the bike, t. When Melody bikes for 1.5 h, she travels 10.5 mi. Which equation shows this direct linear variation?


 
   
m = 15.75t

 
   
m = 12t

 
   
m = 7t

 
   
m = 10.5t

First divide 10.5 by 1.5 and you will get the answer 7
This means that we have to multiply t by 7 to get m
