The table below represents the displacement of a turtle from its nest as a function of time:

Time
(hours)
x Displacement
from nest
(miles)
y
0 5
1 27
2 49
3 71
4 93
Part C: What would be the domain of the function if the turtle continued to walk at this rate until it traveled 225 miles from the nest? (2 points)

hi

nonopro · Answer

oh

anonymous · Answer

@nonopro hey:( im still having trouble on this thing still

anonymous · Answer

do you know how to find the slope of a line?

anonymous · Answer

yea. the slope is: y1-y2/x1-x2

anonymous · Answer

right, so if you use 2 of your points, what slope will you get?

anonymous · Answer

ok... so my points are, 93 and 5 for the y. and for x, 4 and 0. will that work?

anonymous · Answer

yes

anonymous · Answer

93-5/4-0=88/4=22.

anonymous · Answer

right, and 5 is the y-intercept so the equation for the line is$$y=22x+5$$

anonymous · Answer

So now we plug in 225 for y and solve for x.
$$225=22x+5$$

anonymous · Answer

so... what would I put for the x?

anonymous · Answer

don't put anything for x. We have to solve the equation to find it.

anonymous · Answer

i agree with peachipi

anonymous · Answer

x is last

anonymous · Answer

ok.

anonymous · Answer

and whatever you do to one side you have to do to the other side

anonymous · Answer

so what should I do now?

anonymous · Answer

Subtract 5 from both sides
