Distance = Rate * Time
\n" ); document.write( "a) Write a linear function that expresses the distance traveled, d, as a function of time, t.
\n" ); document.write( "After zero hours, you traveled 0 miles, so: (0,0)
\n" ); document.write( "After one hour, you traveled 60 miles, so: (1,60)
\n" ); document.write( "M = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (60 - 0)/(1 - 0) = 60/1 or just 60
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y+-+y1+=+m%28x+-+x1%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y+-+0+=+60%28x+-+0%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y+=+60x\"$ where $\"y\"$ is distance and $\"x\"$ is time
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y%2F60+=+x\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
