To find the slope in this problem, we can use the formula for calculating slope, which is change in distance divided by change in time. In this case, the change in distance is 350 miles - 200 miles = 150 miles, and the change in time is 4:00 pm - 1:00 pm = 3 hours.
So, the slope (rate of driving) is 150 miles / 3 hours = 50 miles per hour.
- Now, to find how far Sue will drive by 5:00 pm, we can use the slope and the additional time of 1 hour (from 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm).
- Distance driven by 5:00 pm = Slope * Time = 50 miles per hour * 1 hour = 50 miles.
Therefore, Sue will drive an additional 50 miles by 5:00 pm, making her total distance driven by 5:00 pm 200 miles + 150 miles + 50 miles = 400 miles. So, Sue will drive 400 miles by 5:00 pm if she continues at the same rate. Note that in this problem, we are assuming that Sue maintains a constant speed throughout her drive. If her speed changes, the solution may be different.
