Question

PLEASE HELP ASAP FOR ALGEBRA 1 Mr Reder has just robbed a bank and is trying to escape on foot. He is currently 3 miles from the bank and running at 5 miles per hour. Write an equation to model how far from the bank Mr Reder is after a certain amount of time has passed. How far has he gone after 3 hours? Draw an appropriate graph for this equation.

Answer 1

Explanation:

His distance from the bank can be modeled using an equation in the form y=mx+b. Since he has already ran 3 miles, the "b" is equal to 3, and can be added to how many miles he runs on from now on. If he can run 5 miles per hour, then that means every hour, he will run 5 miles. We can represent how many hours have passed as x. This would make our equation y=5x+3.

After 3 hours he has gone 5(3)+3 miles, or 18 miles

Answer 2

He has ran 15 miles and passed the bank 12 miles from his location where he is at.
