Question

Joe is going to travel to Dallas. He lives 360 miles away and can average 60 miles per hour. Write a linear model that represents Joe's distance from Dallas, d(t), traveled as a function of time, t, in hours. A. d(t) = 360 - 60t B. d(t) = 360t + 60 C. d(t) = 60t D. d(t) = 360 + 60t

Answer 1

d(t) = 360 - 60t
is the linear model that represents Joe's distance fromDallas, d(t), traveled as a function of time, t, in hours.

Answer 2

The initial distance is equal to 360 miles while the rate of traveling is equal to 60 miles per hour. Since the travel turns the distance in a decreasing manner, there should be a negative sign. in this case, the answer to this problem . A. d(t) = 360 - 60tshould be
