    y = 8x

    Step-by-step explanation:

    If Percy rides x number of hours and the distance covered by her in miles is y, then the proportional relationship between y and x is given by the symbol

    y ∝ x, ⇒ y = mx ... (1) {Where m is the constant of proportionality}

    Now, given that Percy rides his bike 11.2 miles in 1.4 hours at a constant rate.

    Then from equation (1) we get,

    11.2 = 1.4m

    ⇒ m = 8 miles/hour

    Therefore, the equation (1) will become y = 8x (Answer)
