Answer:
They live 285 miles apart
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total distance be x miles
Sean is driving to visit his friend in another state. In the first hour he travels 1/5 of the total distance. This means that he drove x/5 in the first hour. In the second hour he travels 34 miles. That means
Total distance driven in the first and second hour is
(x/5 + 34)miles
He still has 194 miles more to go.
Therefore,
The total distance is the sum of the distance travelled in the first and second hour + the remaining distance.
x = x/5 + 34 + 194
x = x/5 + 228
Cross multiplying
5x = x + 1140
4x = 1140
x = 1140/4 = 285 miles
Look where the line is touching on the y-axis and that will be your y-value. From there or somewhere on the line use rise over run (rise/run, do not divide). Count how many times it goes up and then count how many times it goes left or right. Make sure to look where the line is going, up or down slanted. If the line is going down, but slanted it will be a negative slope; line going up and slanted is positive.
