You and your friend leave your houses at the same time to meet at a restaurant. The distance (in miles) your friend
is from the restaurant is given by y = -40% + 200, where I is the number of hours since your friend left home.
You live 100 miles from the restaurant and arrive at the same time as your friend. Write a linear equation that
represents your distance from the restaurant

Respuesta :

Answer:

When x=0 the friend is 200 miles from the restaurant and at x=5 the friend reaches the restaurant. When x=0 you are 100 miles from the restaurant, so 100 is the y intercept, and when x=5 you reach the restaurant so 5 is the x intercept. We have y=mx+100 and y=0 when x=5, so 0=5m+100 therefore m=-20 and the equation is y=-20x+100.
