The following situation can be modeled by a linear function. Write an equation for the linear function and use it to answer the given question.   A snowplow has maximum speed of 50 miles per hour on a dry highway. Its maximum speed decreases by 1.3 miles per hour for every inch of snow on the highway. According to this​ model, at what snow depth will the snow plow be unable to​ move? The equation used to model this situation is nothing​, where s is the maximum speed of the snowplow in miles per hour and d is the snow depth in inches.

Linear Functions

A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
