Answer:

[tex]y = 15x[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Rate = 15\ miles/hour[/tex]

[tex]x = time[/tex]

[tex]y = distance[/tex]

Required

Express in terms of y and x

The given rate is a ratio of distance to time.

So:

[tex]Ratio = Distance/Time[/tex]

Substitute values for Distance and Time

[tex]Ratio = y/x[/tex]

Substitute 15 for Ratio

[tex]15 = y/x[/tex]

Cross Multiply

[tex]y = 15x[/tex]

Hence: the situation is represented by [tex]y = 15x[/tex]
