It took peter 3 hours to drive to his friend in connecticut when he was driving with the average speed 54 mph find the constant of variation.

Answer

Find out the  constant of variation.

To prove

Definition of constant of variation

The constant of variation is the number that relates two variables that are directly proportional or inversely proportional to one another .

As given

It took Peter 3 hours to drive to his friend in Connecticut when he was driving with the average speed 54 mph .

Thus

As the distance between Peter to his friend in Connecticut always be same.

Let us assume that d is the  between Peter to his friend in Connecticut .

Here constant of variation is d .

Formula

Distance = d

Time = 3

Speed = 54mph

Put in the formula

d = 162 m

Therefore the constant of variation d is 162 m.

the answer to the question is a

step-by-step explanation:

it has the same slope and the same y-intercept.

y + 11 = -7/9(x - 18)

y + 11 =-7/9x + 14

b

y = -7/9x + 3

y-intercept (0, 3)
