Question

D=540−65h

models a minivan's distance from Chicago, d, after h hours. Sabrina graphed the model below, but forgot to scale and label her graph. Answer the questions below based on the information you are given.




a) Answer the questions below so they fit the model LaTeX: d=540-65h

d=540−65h



i.) What label will you write on the y-axis?


ii.) What label will write on the x-axis?


iii.) What is the y-intercept? Explain what this means in context.


iv.) What is the slope? Explain what this means in context.

Answer 1

Given function:

• d = 540 - 65h

Answers

• i) The y- axis will have the label d, the distance from Chicago
• ii) The x-axis will have the label h, travel hours
• iii) The y-intercept is 540. This is the distance before the minivan starts to move.
• iv) The slope is -65. This is the distance reduced each hour of travel.
