Question 640239: Ashley is driving to New York City. 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.
Ashley has 58 miles remaining after 50 minutes of driving. How many miles were remaining after 38 minutes of driving? Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Plot time = on the horizontal axis
Plot miles remaining = on the vertical axis
The equation has the form
where is the value of at
given:
So, the equation is:
When
69.4 miles remained after 38 minutes of driving
Here's the plot:
