y = -5x + 1
[y = mx + b "m" is the slope, "b" is the y-intercept (the y value when x = 0)]
So your slope is -5, and your y-intercept is 1 or (0,1)
Rise is the number of units you go up(+) or down(-).
Run is the number of units you go to the right.
Since your slope is -5 or 
, you go down 5 units, and to the right 1 unit.
Answer: He would have traveled 248 miles
Explanation: This is a ratio
To find how many miles he would have traveled after 4 hours, we need to apply the information givin into a ration table
(We can put miles on the top and hours on the bottom)
217 ?
------- ------
3.5 4
Now, we can do two things:
1. cross multiply
we would take 217 times 4 (868) and divide that by 3.5 (248)
2. Divide the top and bottom by 3.5 (numerator= 62 denominator= 1)
multiply 62 by 4 to get 248
Hope this helps!
