Jason is traveling by car from his home to his office. He has gone 3.5 miles so far. From this point on, he can cover 100 miles every 2 hours. What is the equation of a line that models the total miles traveled, y, in x hours after this point?

The equation of a line that models the total miles
traveled, y, in x hours after this point
= 50 + 3.5.
Total distance to be covered=100 miles
Distance covered =3.5 miles
Time given =2 hours
Therefore, based on the equation given, the
number of miles to be covered per hour will be:
= 100 miles/2
= 50 miles
The equation of line will now be :
y = ( 50 × x) +3.5
y = 50x + 3.5
Therefore, the equation of a line that models the total miles traveled, y, in x hours after this point is y =50x + 3.5.
