A car travels at a rate of 50 mph and has already traveled 30 miles. Write an equation that represents the distance traveled. Is this function linear or nonlinear? What is the slope?

The equation would be y = 50x + 30.
This function is linear because it will go up by the same amount each time.
The slope is 50.

I hope this helps!
