Answer

The graph is modeled below

Work Step by Step

The equation of the graph that represented the distance the runner has traveled as a function of the time the runner has been runner is y=$\frac{1}{6}$x. To find the time the runner has been running as a function of the distance the runner has traveled, you have to find the reciprocal of the slope in the equation above, which is 6 and since the equation above did not have any y-intercepts, we can ignore it. The equation of time run as a function of the distance traveled can be modeled by the equation: y=6x.
