Answer:

Explanation:
we know that
The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to

where'
m is the slope or unit rate
b is the y-intercept of initial value
In this problem
Let
x ----> the time in hours
y ----> the distance in miles
we have
The speed is the same that the unit rate or slope of the linear equation
so

The y-intercept is
----> initial value (value of y when the value of x is equal to zero)
substitute
