The equation in y = mx+b form is y = -450x+2745
where,
x = number of hours that have passed by
y = distance to destination in miles
The y intercept is 2745 since this is the initial starting y value, aka the starting distance. Therefore b = 2745.
The slope is -450 or -450/1 since for each hour, the distance goes down by 450. You can think of it as
slope = (change in y)/(change in x)
slope = (change in distance)/(change in time)
slope = (-450 miles)/(1 hour)
slope = -450
Answer: 112 pieces
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Rewrite 
as a decimal. Divide the numerator and the denominator of the fractional part and add it to the integer part:
2. You know that each metal rod is 15 inches long. Then, you must divide the lenght of each one by 3.6:
3. The waste is 0.16, therefore, you obtain 4 pieces from a metal rod. The total pieces obtained from 28 metal rods are:
