Question

Wayne needs to drive 470 miles to reach Milwaukee. Suppose he drives at a constant speed of 50 miles per hour. Which function represents Wayne’s distance i
n miles from Milwaukee in terms of the number of hours he drives?
Answer choices:
A y = 420x
B y = 470 + 50x
C y = 50 - 470x
D y = 50 + 470x
E y = 470 - 50x

Answer 1

B: Because your slope is 50 because it says "per hour" so this leaves out answers A,C, and D. Now you only answers B and E. E is wrong because its a negitve slope and there's nothing in this problem that makes it a negative, so your answer is B
