The equation for the shadow length L.
Is L=0.72*h
Therefore at 123 feet the shadow length would be 88.56 feet
The polynomial remainder theorem says that the remainder when dividing a polynomial

by a linear divisor

is simply

.
If

, then the remainder upon dividing by

is

You could also verify this by actually computing the quotient and remainder.
Answer:
The equation is not linear. So the slope does not exist. Not linear.
Maybe you wrote the equation wrong? If so, let me know and I'll tell you what the answer is.
3.5 miles / 1.25 hours = 2.8 mph
