what line represents the situation?

a. line a

b. line b

c. line c

d. line d

answer:

b is the correct answer

step-by-step explanation:

let

> the time in minutes

> the number of laps

we know that

in this problem the linear equation represent a direct variation and the slope is equal to

so

the equation of the line is

for

the value of y is equal to

plot the point   in the graph

therefore

the answer is

the solution is the line b

there is no image or shapes attacted

step-by-step explanation:

the simplified form is

step-by-step explanation:

we want to simplify the expression,

let us change the middle bar to a normal division sign to obtain,

we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to obtain,

we factor to obtain,

we cancel the common factors to get,

we simplify to get,

the correct answer is b
