An athlete is running in a marathon that eventually finishes at a local high school. After x minutes, the distance the athlete is from the school is given by y (in miles), where x + 10y = 260 (Note: 0 ≤ x ≤ 10 and 0 ≤ y ≤ 26). Complete the steps below to understand how to find the intercepts of the equation and what they represent.

Part A Use the relationship between x and y to find the time it takes for the runner to reach the school.
Part B
Use the relationship between x and y to find the distance between the runner and the high school at the start line.
Part C
If the runner ran for 40 minutes from the start line, what is the remaining distance between the runner and the school?
