As you drive home from the football game,

the number of kilometers you are away
from home depends on the number of
minutes you have been driving. Assume
that the distance varies linearly with
time. Suppose in 10 min you are 11 km
from home, and in 15 min you are 8 km
from home.
a) Write the particular equation expressing
the number of kilometers you are from
home (y) in terms of the number of
minutes since you left the game (x) in
slope intercept form.
b) Find the intercepts. What do they mean?
c) What is the slope? What does this number
represent? What is the significance that
the slope is negative?

22b)(0,17) : At 0 min, you are 17 km away from
home OR the football game is 17 km away from
home
(28.33, 0): At 28.33 min, you are 0 km away
from home OR it takes you 28.33 minutes (28
min and 20 seconds) to get home from the
football game
22c)Since the distance from home is decreasing,
the slope is negative.
