Question 392820
Laura is driving to Seattle. 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 -0.75 . 
See the figure below.
---
Write the linear function as 
remaining distance = -0.75(drive time) + (intercept)
-------
Laura has 51 miles remaining after 33 minutes of driving. 
That gives you the following:
51 = -0.75(33) + intercept
intercept = 75.75
---
Equation is rd = -0.75t + 75.75
------------------------------------
How many miles were remaining after 15 minutes of driving?
rd(15) = -0.75*15+75.75
rd(15) = 64.5 miles
