Question

Janet is rowing across an 80-meter-wide river at an average rate of 3 meters per second. Create a table, an equation, and a graph of the distance that Janet has remaining before she reaches the other side. When will Janet reach the shore? Do not take into consideration the speed of the river’s current.

Answer 1

Start off the table by doing 0 seconds to 4 seconds. Then subtract 3 meters each time.
0 - 80
1 - 77
2 - 74
3 - 71
4 - 68

The equation would be d = 80 - 3t

The graph would be a line starting 80 and a slope of -3.
