at 2:10 Joyce was 42 miles from home. At 2:30 she was 21 miles from home.
\n" ); document.write( " find her average rate of travel. then find the slope.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The travel time from 2:10 to 2:30 is 20 min which is: 20/60 = \"1%2F3\" hr
\n" ); document.write( "During this time he traveled 21 mi
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Speed = dist/time
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "s = \"21%2F%281%2F3%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "s = 21 * 3
\n" ); document.write( "s = 63 mph
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The equation, where d = distance from home
\n" ); document.write( "d = -63t + 42
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The slope is -63
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "the graph, vert is distance from home, horizontal is time in hrs
\n" ); document.write( "\"+graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-.5%2C+1%2C+-10%2C+50%2C+-63x%2B42%29+\"
