A speedboat travels 2,000 meters in 20 minutes at a constant speed. Which equation models the distance the speedboat travels (y) for any given number of minutes (x)?
y = 100x
y = 20x + 2000
y = 200x
y = 2000x + 20

Answer

The speed of the speedboat is calculated by dividing the distance by the time: 2000 meters / 20 minutes = 100 meters per minute. Therefore, the equation that models the distance (y) for any given number of minutes (x) is:

y = 100x
