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

It’s A because 100 times number of hours is 100x and you add the 3.5 because that’s how many miles we already know he traveled.
