8.24621 is the distance between the points
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
-15 times -5 = 75
-15 + -5 = -20
The y-intercept (where x = 0) of the equation is at -20.
For every 60 the x runs, the y falls by -10. Use rise over run to determine the slope of the equation.

Slope-intercept form is determined by the following equation:

m is your slope, and b is your y-intercept.
Plug the slope and y-intercept into the equation.
First, let's find out the number of minutes Emily has to get to school. From 8:25 to 8:50, there are 25 minutes.
Next, let's find out the number of minutes before Emily looks at her watch. From 8:25 to 8:28.50, there are 3.5 minutes.
Now let's calculate Emily's speed in miles per minute. To do so, divide the distance traveled by the time it took:

miles/minute
Now let's calculate how far Emily can travel in 25 minutes going this speed. To do so, we multiply her speed by the time traveled:

miles
5.357 miles is greater than 3.42 miles, so yes, Emily will make it to school on time.
