henry is driving to Boston.
\n" ); document.write( "Suppose that the remaining distance to drive in miles is a linear function of his driving time in minutes).
\n" ); document.write( " When graphed, the function gives a line with a slope of -0.95.
\n" ); document.write( "x = minutes, y = distance remaining
\n" ); document.write( "y = -.95x + b
\n" ); document.write( " Henry has 55 miles remaining after 44 minutes of driving.
\n" ); document.write( "55 = -.95(44) + b
\n" ); document.write( "Find b
\n" ); document.write( "55 = -41.8 + b
\n" ); document.write( "55 + 41.8 = b
\n" ); document.write( "b = 96.8 (distance to Boston)
\n" ); document.write( "the equation then
\n" ); document.write( "y = -.95x + 96.8
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "How many miles will be remaining after 64 minutes of driving.
\n" ); document.write( "y = -.95(64) + 96.8
\n" ); document.write( "y = 36 miles \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
