You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The equation \"d=3t%2B15\" models the distance, \"d\"( in feet), Jon's car was away from a wall, after \"t\" seconds. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Seconds (\"t\") Feet from Wall (\"d\")
\n" ); document.write( "\"+5\" ................ \"20\"
\n" ); document.write( " \"10\"............ \"30\"
\n" ); document.write( " \"15\" ............. \"40\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "first find the equation which models the distance, \"d\"( in feet), Brianna’s car was away from a wall, after \"t\" seconds\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=mx%2Bb\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "use two points from given table to find slope \"m\":\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"m=%2830-20%29%2F%2810-5%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"m=10%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"m=2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=2x%2Bb\".....use one point to find \"b\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"40=2%2A15%2Bb\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"40=30%2Bb\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"40-30=b\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"b=10\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=2x%2B10\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "as you can see, y-intercept in equation for Jon's car is \"15\" and y-intercept in equation for Brianna’s car is \"10\" , the difference is \"5\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "and that is how much closer to the wall did Brianna’s car start compared to Jon’s car \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "C. \"5\" ft=>your answer
