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
B.
y = 100x – 3.5
C.
y = 50x + 3.5
D.
y = -50x + 3.5

Answer 1

Your answer is 50x + 3.5

Answer 2

answer: 50x +3.5

Explanation:

100 miles divided by 2 hours is 50 miles per hour, and he has already gone 3.5 miles, so the answer would be y= 50x +3.5
