Respuesta :

We are given a graph between the time and distance from the dock.

First, let us find the function to model this relationship then we can evaluate the function for an

input of 6.

The general form of a straight line function is given by

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

Where y is the distance in meters, x is the time in minutes, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

The slope is given by

[tex]slope=m=\frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}}[/tex]
