Answer:

y = ½x + 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

You get y = -2x +5, so the slope is –2. Perpendicular lines have opposite-reciprocal slopes, so the slope of the line we want to find is 1/2. Plugging in the point given into the equation y = 1/2x + b and solving for b, we get b = 6. Thus, the equation of the line is y = ½x + 6.

The linear function that models Rachel's distance as a function of time is:

D(x) = (70 mi/h)*x

<h3>How to find a function that models Rachel's distance as a function of time?</h3>

Remember the relation between speed and distance:

Distance = Speed*Time.

Here we know that the speed of Rachel is 70 miles per hour, then if she drives for x hours, the distance traveled will be:

D(x) = (70 mi/h)*x

So we found a linear function that models Rachel's distance as a function of time.
