Mr. Forte is using a brand new bus for his route today. When he starts, the bus has only 75 miles on it. He travels for a total of 4 hours at an average speed of 50 miles per hour, making one stop each hour.

Create a graph, equation, table, and sentence to represent the total mileage on the bus as a function of hours driven at 50 miles per hour. Let the independent variable (x) be time and the dependent variable (y) be miles the bus has traveled.
