Question 745117: Megan is going on a long distance road trip. She drives for 14 miles before being able to travel at a constant speed using cruise control. The equation y = 70x + 14 can be used to find her total distance traveled. If y is the total number of miles driven, and x is the number of hours driven after reaching 14 miles, which statement best describes the rate of change in the distance traveled?

The rate of change of the distance traveled is
the slope of the equation, which is:
( change in y ) / ( change in x ) = 70 mi/hr
