Answer:
<em>y = (-mi/h)x + b</em>
y = total distance left to cover
-mi/h = speed at wich he is covering ground
b = the total distance to cover from start to finish
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope Intercept form without other variables filled is shown like this with <em>mx </em>being the slope and <em>b </em>being the y intercept
<em>y = mx + b</em>
all we need to do is fill in known variables with hours multiplied by <em>x </em>represented as <em>m</em>...
<em>y = (-mi/h)x + b</em>
note the negative symbol, this shows that the higher that miles an hour (mi/h) aka speed is, the more distance he will cover REDUCING the distance to cover faster meaning the line will slope DOWNWARD
<em>b</em> would be the the total distance that he has started with, meaning on the point where the line crosses the y axis, the number it crosses at will represent how much he has started with
