Question

For the linear model, y = -67.9x +679, the distance, in miles y, is a function of time, x, in hours. Use the model to calculate the total distance, in miles, at x = 2 hours.

Answer 1

Answer:

543.2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Input the given value of x into the equation and solve for y:

y = -67.9x + 679

y = -67.9(2) + 679

y = -135.8 + 679

y = 543.2

The total distance in miles after 2 hours is 543.2 miles.
