The curve is a linear equation.
<h3>
What type of curve is the given equation?</h3>
It is actually a linear equation, meaning that this is a straight line, not a an actual "curve".
To view the "shape" of the curve, you need to graph it.
You could use a program or do it by hand, to do it by hand, you need to evaluate a lot of points of the equation, and then graph them to see the general behavior of the equation.
In this case, I graphed it with a program, and in the image, you can see that this is a linear equation that decreases as the variable increases.

Answer:
- 1) y = 13.5x + 1
- 2) y = 12x + 4
- 3) Sam won the race
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>Part 1</h3>
Sam's car is 1 ft in front of the start line and its speed is 13.5 ft/s.
<u>The distance after x seconds is:</u>
<h3>Part 2</h3>
Alice's car the speed 12 ft/s and after 3 seconds is 40 ft in front of the start line.
<u>The distance after x seconds is:</u>
- y = 12(x - 3) + 40 = 12x - 36 + 40 = 12x + 4
<h3>Part 3</h3>
<u>After 15 seconds the distance from the start line is:</u>
- Sam ⇒ y = 13.5*15 + 1 = 203.5 ft
- Alice ⇒ y = 12*15 + 4 = 184 ft
As we see Sam is further from the start line than Alice
