Question

Ruby is moving from Minneapolis to Chicago, which is 400 miles away. She is traveling at an average speed of 50 miles per hour. Ruby stops for gas after a couple of hours and wonders how much further she needs to go. If y represents distance and x represents time, which linear equation would indicate the amount of miles Ruby still has to travel to Chicago? a.) y = - 50x + 400 b.) y = - 400x + 50 c.) y = 50x - 400 d.) y = 400x - 50
