Mr. Reed DATA:

rate = 40 mph ; time = x 4.5 hrs ; distance = 40x miles

-----

Mrs. Reed DATA:

rate = 60 mph ; time = x hrs ; distance = 60x - 210 miles

------

Equation:

40x = 60x -210

-20x = -210

x = 10.5 hrs

x-3.5 = 7 hrs (Mr. Reed's time)

Answer:

Answers:

Rate of change = -5

Initial value = 25


Step-by-step explanation:

Each time x increases by 2 (eg from x = 1 to x = 3), the value of y drops by 10 (eg from y = 20 to y = 10)

Therefore the slope is...

slope = rise/run = (change in y)/(change in x) = -10/2 = -5

slope = -5

So each time x increases by 1, y will decrease by 5

Flip things around: each time x decreases by 1, y will increase by 5

So the pair (x,y) = (1,20) shown in row 1 of the table leads to (0,25) based on the rule above. Another way to see this is to plug m = -5, x = 1 and y = 20 into y = mx+b and solve for b to get b = 25
