Answer 1

Answer:

• 1) y = 13.5x + 1
• 2) y = 12x + 4
• 3) Sam won the race

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1

Sam's car is 1 ft in front of the start line and its speed is 13.5 ft/s.

The distance after x seconds is:

• y = 13.5x + 1

Part 2

Alice's car the speed 12 ft/s and after 3 seconds is 40 ft in front of the start line.

The distance after x seconds is:

• y = 12(x - 3) + 40 = 12x - 36 + 40 = 12x + 4

Part 3

After 15 seconds the distance from the start line is:

• Sam   ⇒ y = 13.5*15 + 1 = 203.5 ft
• Alice  ⇒ y = 12*15 + 4 = 184 ft

As we see Sam is further from the start line than Alice
