Rita goes for a bike ride on a trail by her house. After 15 minutes of riding she sees a mile marker. When she sees the third mile marker ,she realizes that she has been biking for 30 minutes. What is the rate at which she is riding?

hence, she is riding miles per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the rate at which she is riding is shown below:

Given that

Rita covered 1 mile in 15 minutes.

And, her covered 3 miles in 30 minutes.

Now

Let us assume the number of miles covered would be in x minutes

So for one miles the point would be (15,1)

And for three miles, the point is (30,3)

Now the slope of the line is

m equal to

hence, she is riding miles per minute
