Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is c.
Proportional means a relationship of y = a constant multiplied by x
In this case, the constant is 7.
i.e. y = 7x
So if
x is 3, y is 21
x is 5, y is 35
x is 7, y is 49
and so on...
And there you have it.
The equation in y = mx+b form is y = -450x+2745
where,
x = number of hours that have passed by
y = distance to destination in miles
The y intercept is 2745 since this is the initial starting y value, aka the starting distance. Therefore b = 2745.
The slope is -450 or -450/1 since for each hour, the distance goes down by 450. You can think of it as
slope = (change in y)/(change in x)
slope = (change in distance)/(change in time)
slope = (-450 miles)/(1 hour)
slope = -450
