Answer:
[tex]y = 62.5x[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that,
[tex]Speed =\frac{Distance}{Time}[/tex]
Given,
Distance = 500 miles,
Time = 8 hours
Thus, the speed = [tex]\frac{500}{8}=62.5\text{ miles per hour}[/tex]
Since, the train continues to travel at a constant rate,
⇒ The Distance it will cover in 1 hour = 62.5 miles,
⇒ The distance it will cover in x hours = 62.5x
Let y represents the distance cover by train in x hours,
[tex]\implies y = 62.5x[/tex]
Which is the required equation.
