Problem 2.2: Crossing the Line
Let's review what we learned from Problem 2.1:
• Emile walks at a constant rate of 2.5 m/s
• Henri walks at a constant rate of 1 m/s
• Henri gets a 45 m head start
Some of us used a table, a graph, or an equation
to help us to solve the problem.
In Problem 2.2, we will create a table, graph, and equation
for each brother.

B.
1. How far does Emile walk in 20 seconds?
2. After 20 seconds, how far apart are the brothers?
How is this distance represented in the table and in the graph?
3. Is the point (26, 70) on either graph? How do you know?
4. When will Emile overtake Henri? Explain.

1. a table of the data?
2. an equation?

D.
1. At what point do Emile's and Henri's graphs cross the y-axis?
Emile:
Henri:
2. What information do these points represent in terms of
the race?
3. How can these points be found in a table and an equation?
