I need to fill in a table for this question.
And also an equation y=mx+b I need help.
'Huricane Ann is 420 miles from the coast at 35 miles per hour .
Write a function describing distance in terms of time in hours.'
:
let x = time in hours
then
f(x) distance from the coast in x hrs
let y = f(x)
:
(dist is speed * time)
:
y = -35x + 420: is the y = mx+b form
:
A table starting with t=0
x | y
-------
0 |420 mi from the coast
1 |385 mi (y = -35(1) + 420)
2 |350 mi (y = -35(2) + 420)
3 |315 mi
4 | you can continue this I am sure
