Suppose that the you are 570 miles from home. You get in your car and start driving straight home at a rate of 60 miles per hour. Write an equation to describe that the distance from home at any time x hours after starting to drive. Use D to represent distance from home and x to represent time in hours (Assume you do not stop at any time on the trip and that you are driving on an interstate and can keep a constant speed.) Answer by reviewermath(1029) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! We need to find a linear function such that the y-intercept is 570 and the slope is -60. The linear function is represented by
D = 570 - 60x [Answer]
where x = time in hours and D = distance from home in miles.
