Please assist with a question I am stuck on.

The two linear equations in this problem are:
a) First, we know the relation:
distance = speed*time.
In this case, we know that the speed is 3.1 miles per hour, so if the runner runs for t hours, we can write:
d(t) = (3.1 mi/h)*t
This is the linear equation that gives the distance as a function of time.
b) Now we want to get the time as a function of the distance, so we just need to isolate t,
t(d) = d/(3.1 mi/h).
This linear equation gives the time as a function of the distance d.
