document.write( "Question 1149874: Lisa is driving to Miami. Suppose that the remaining distance to drive (in miles) is a linear function of her driving time (in minutes). When graphed, the function gives a line with a slope of -0.95. See the figure below. Lisa has 40 miles remaining after 33 minutes of driving. How many miles will be remaining after 53 minutes of driving? \n" ); document.write( "

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The fact that the slope is -0.95 means that her rate is 0.95 miles per minute.\r\n" );

document.write( "The time from 33 minute driving to 53 minutes is 20 minutes.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Hence, the remaining distance after 53 minutes driving is  40 - 20*0.95 = 21 miles.    ANSWER\r\n" );
