John is moving from Portland to Sacramento, which is 600 miles away. He is traveling at an average speed of 55 miles per hour. Jon stops for gas after a couple of hours and wonders how much further he needs to go. If y represents distance from Sacramento and x represents time, which linear equation would indicate the amount of miles Jon still has to travel to Sacramento?

If you plug in 2 to x you can solve

Are there any answer choices?
