Jennifer is 30 miles north of her house, and she is driving north on the highway at a rate of 50 miles per hour.

Question

For each situation, determine the slope and y-intercept of the graph of the equation that describes the situation.

Answer 1

let y=distance from north of her house and let x= hours of driving at the rate of 50 miles/hour

the equation will be y=50x+30 and the slope will be 50

Answer 2

Slope = 55

y-intercept = 70
