Jordan will hike the trail shown at a rate of mi/h. Write a linear equation to represent the distance Jordan still has to walk after x hours. What does the y-intercept of the equation represent? If y represents the distance Jordan still has to walk after x hours, then the equation ? describes the given situation.

(Type your answer in slope-intercept form.)

y = (-mi/h)x + b

y = total distance left to cover

-mi/h = speed at wich he is covering ground

b = the total distance to cover from start to finish

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope Intercept form without other variables filled is shown like this with mx being the slope and b being the y intercept

y = mx + b

all we need to do is fill in known variables with hours multiplied by x represented as m...

y = (-mi/h)x + b

note the negative symbol, this shows that the higher that miles an hour (mi/h) aka speed is, the more distance he will cover REDUCING the distance to cover faster meaning the line will slope DOWNWARD

b would be the the total distance that he has started with, meaning on the point where the line crosses the y axis, the number it crosses at will represent how much he has started with
