Question

Can someone tell if my table for this problem is right? If it isn't, can you help me fix it?
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.
I know the equation is y=50x + 75.

>>>Can someone tell if my table for this problem is right?

Please post your table. Thanks.

Answer 2

Does your table look like this:


X Y
0 75
1 125
2 175
3 225
4 275

Answer 3

This is the table that I came up with- __________________
]substitute value of
[x(hours)] x into the equation [ y(miles) ]
[ 0 ] y = 50(4) + 75 [ 75 ]
[ 1 ] y = 50(4) + 75 [ 125 ]
[ 2 ] y = 50(4) + 75 [ 175 ]
[ 3 ] y = 50(4) + 75 [ 225 ]
[ 4 ] y = 50(4) + 75 [ 275 ]

Answer 5

Sorry it took me a bit to post the table because my laptop is jacked up

Answer 6

In the table, the x values for time are all set for 4. They should progress 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4.

Answer 9

y=50(0)+75: y=75
y=50(1)+75: y=125
y=50(2)+75: y=175
y=50(3)+75: y=225
y=50(4)+75: y=275

Answer 10

Ok thank you so much this really helps @Directrix !!!!

Answer 11

There is more to do so don't stop now.

Answer 12

We have the graph and sentence to go.

What do you mean by your computer is "jacked up?"

Answer 13

It just doesn't really work with typing stuff on this site.

Answer 14

what is that graph for?

Answer 15

@i_love_bands26 There is no computer built that works well with this site.

I changed to FoxFire but still have to refresh the page every 3 minutes.

Answer 16

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.

Answer 17

This site sucks other than the math help from people.

Answer 18

I just have the graph and the sentence left.

Answer 19

oh that's great thanks @MARC_

Answer 20

I'm using chrome @Directrix.

Answer 21

If the driver drove the bus at an average of 50 mph, the total mileage of the bus is equal to the beginning mileage (75 miles) plus 50 miles times the number of hours of travel for the total trip.

Answer 22

The people here say Chrome is the best browser for this site. I don't know about that.

Answer 23

Which part @MARC_ ?

Answer 24

Graph

Answer 25

That is the graph of the line but you want only the part in the first quadrant because the bus is not going back in time.

Answer 26

For my problem @Directrix?

Answer 27

ok

Answer 28

Well, the posted graph does show the distance traveled by the bus so I think it is okay.

Answer 29

Thanks @Directrix!!

Answer 30

You are welcome.
