Mr. Goldstein is driving to Houston. The equation y = -45x + 270 represents the numbers of miles that he still has to travel after driving for x hours. What is the slope of the line and what does it represent in this situation?

-45 and it represents the number of miles he had to drive

-45 and it represents the number of driving miles per hour

270 and it represents the driving miles per hour

270 and it represents how many miles he had to drive

B, the slope would be -45/1 so every 1 hour, he drives -45 miles
