Question

4/10

Jacob leaves his summer cottage and drives home. After
driving for 5 hours, he is 112 km from home, and after 7 hours,
he is 15 km from home. Assume that the distance from home
and the number of hours driving form a linear relationship.
What is the slope and what does it represent?

Answer 1

The slope is -48.5, and this shows that every hour he drives 48.5 km closer to his home.
