Elsa is driving to New Orleans. Suppose that the remaining distance to drive (in miles) is a linear function of her driving time (in minutes). When graphed, the function gives a line with a slope of -0.75, See the figure below. Elsa has 41 miles remaining after 41 minutes of driving. How many miles will be remaining after 53 minutes of driving? Remaining distance (in miles) 41 41 Driving time (in minutes) miles X 5

Expert Solution
Step 1

Let, d = remaining distance to drive

       t = driving time

Let, the linear function relating t and d be given by, 

      d = mt + c. . . . . . . (1) 

Now, the slope of the line is given as - 0.75

i.e., m = -0.75

So, the equation of the line becomes

      d = - 0.75t + c  . . . . . . (2)
