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?

Step 1
Jason has already traveled 3.5 miles. After this point, he travels at a rate of 100 miles every 2 hours. We need to find an equation that models the total distance traveled, y, in terms of the time x (in hours) after the initial 3.5 miles. Show more…

Jon is moving from Portland to Sacramento, which is 600 miles away. He is traveling at an average speed of 55 miles per hour. Jon stops for gas after a couple of hours and wonders how much further he needs to go. If y represents distance from Sacramento and x represents time, which linear equation would indicate the amount of miles Jon still has to travel to Sacramento?
