Walking After Midnight



y=.054447x -7.392687



The numbers in this equation make sense because "a" in this equation means miles per minute, this doesnt make very much sense because it takes more than one minute to walk half a mile. And "b" makes sense because this is not a perfect graph so it does not pass through the origin. "B" should mean the distance that you go when you drive nowhere.



Miles Versus Walking Times





y= 1.03447x -12.00098
Miles Versus Driving Times

The numbers in this equation make sense because as you increase the amount of miles you are driving the amount of time it takes to drive these miles almost directly correlates. This means that one mile per one minute. This is why "a" is so close to 1. The number for "b" makes sense, if this was a perfect graph then "b" would be zero, but since this graph is not perfect, the y intercept is 12.
