Question

A car and a motorcycle, starting 35 miles apart, travel directly away from each other. The car averages 60 miles per hour and the motorcycle averages m miles per hour. The distance (d) between them after h hours can be determined using the equation below. Which equation could be used to find the distance between the car and the motorcycle after 2.5 hours?

Answer 1

d = 60h + 35

Explanation:

60 = Slope

35 = Y-intercept

You would just input whatever amount of time you need to the variable h in order to find the value of d.
