This is a linear function because it has the form:
D(t)=mt+b
where:
48
is the rate of change, and:
23
is the starting distance from the rest stop.
We need to find:
D(1.7)
That means substitute:
t=1.7
into the function.
D(1.7)=48(1.7)+23
First multiply:
48(1.7)=81.6
Now add 23:
D(1.7)=81.6+23
D(1.7)=104.6
So the vehicle is:
104.6 miles
from the rest stop after 1.7 hours.
