Question 662880: i need help with findin the equation of a line ...
lava flows from a volcano at .35mph. It is flowing 6 miles north of a highway near the volcano ..
my guess is that the rise is irrelevant so i'm making that 1 .. so is the line y= 1/6 x + .35 ?
thank you...

Confusing information.
What are x and y representing?
