Let

represent Jose's drived distance and

represent Rob's.
So what you need to do is to solve the equation:



So Jose drove for
6 hours before Rob caught him.
38 (average) - 29.777 (this year) = 8.223 inches less this year than the average year.
The answer would be
y = 4x -14
y +2 = 4(x-3)
y+2 = 4x -12
y = 4x -12 -2
y = 4x -14 (slope intercept form)
