a.
\Write and graph the linear equation that gives the distance
in kilometers in terms of the number
in miles.
Write a linear equation.
\Observe the table:
\The two ordered pairs represent the number in miles and distance in killometers are
and
.
Find the slope.
\
.
(Formula for slope)
(Substitute
and
)
(Subtract:
and
)
(Simplify)
Therefore, the slope is
.
Consider the ordered pair is
and
.
Point slope form of the equation of a line is
.
Write a linear equation.
\
(Formula for Point-slope for line equation)
(Substitute
and
)
(Distributive property:
)
(Add
to each side)

\b.
\Find the distance in kilometers to
.
(Original equation)
(Substitute
)
(Multiply)
Hence,
corresponds to
.
c.
\What number is the same in kilometers and miles.
\
.
Because this is the point on the graph where the
-value and the
-value are the same.
a. The linear equation is
.
b.
corresponds to
.
c.
number is the same in killometers and miles.
