11.5 miles from home at t=0 (1:35 pm)
D from home (miles)=11.5-(25/60)x
graph%28300%2C300%2C-15%2C35%2C-10%2C15%2C11.5-%2825%2F60%29x%29
Graphically about 2-3 minutes late
11.5=(25/60)x, rewriting the equation set equal to 0.
11.5*60/25=690/25=27.6 minutes, 2.6 minutes late
25/60 is the number of miles per minute.
