The table shows the linear relationship between the stride rate of a runner, in numbers of strides per second, and the speed index. This linear relationship holds for stride rates per second to 5.00 strides per second. According to this linear relationship, what is the speed index when the runner with a stride rate of 3.80 strides per second?

For every 0.25 strides/sec there is an increment of 1 speed index. Based on this, 3.75 strides/sec will be equal to speed index of 8.
To find out the remaining speed index of 0.05 strides/sec I used ratios: 0.25/1 : 0.05/x --> x = 0.2.
Therefore, 8+0.2 = 8.2.

set speed index as dependent on stride rate: \(speed=m*stride+b\)
\(m=\frac{5-4}{3-2.75}=4\)
\(speed=4*stride+b\), plug in \((3,5)\)
\(5=4*3+b\), \(b=-7\)
when \(stride=3.8\), \(speed=4*3.8-7=8.2\) is the answer
