Question

Medal and fan! ^_^
The equation D = 40t represents the distance a car travels in miles (D) after traveling for t hours. What is the slope and what does it represent?

Answer 1

the slope represent the velocity

Answer 2

Well...I travel for 3 hours....how far do I travel?

D = 40t

Replace t with 3....we get that I traveled 40*3 = 120 miles

So the slope of the line is that 40, and it represents how far you can travel each hour

Answer 3

Oooh.
That clears up a lot.
Thank you, @johnweldon1993! (:
