Travel_Word_Problems/745117: Megan is going on a long distance road trip. She drives for 14 miles before being able to travel at a constant speed using cruise control. The equation y = 70x + 14 can be used to find her total distance traveled. If y is the total number of miles driven, and x is the number of hours driven after reaching 14 miles, which statement best describes the rate of change in the distance traveled? 1 solutions Answer 453736 by josmiceli(9819)   on 2013-05-05 12:45:08 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! The rate of change of the distance traveled is the slope of the equation, which is: ( change in y ) / ( change in x ) = 70 mi/hr
