Question

Jason is traveling by car from his home to his office. He has gone 3.5 miles so far. From this point on, he can cover 100 miles every 2 hours. What is

the equation of a line that models the total miles traveled, y, in x hours after this point?
A
y = 100x + 3.5
ОВ.
y = 100x - 3.5
Ос.
y = 50x + 3.5
OD
y=-50x + 3.5

Answer 1

y = 50x + 3.5

Explanation:

Given:

Distance already covered = 3.5 miles

100 miles covered in 2 hour

FInd;

Equation of given scenario

Computation:

Assume;

Total miles covered = y

Total number of hours = x

Speed of car = 100 / 2

Speed of car = 50 miles per hour

Total miles covered = Distance already covered + [Speed of car][Total number of hours]

y = 3.5 + [50][x]

y = 50x + 3.5
