Answer:
Travel The Ramirez family is driving cross-country on vacation. They drive 330 miles in 5.5 hours.
Write a direct variation equation to find the distance driven for any number of hours.
Words The distance traveled is 330 miles, and the time is 5.5 hours.
Variables
Distance equals rate times time.
Equation 330 mi r 5.5h
Solve for the rate.
Answer: Therefore, the direct variation equation is
Original equation
Divide each side by 5.5.
Simplify.
Graph the equation.
The graph of passes through the origin with a slope of 60.
Answer:
Estimate how many hours it would take to drive 600 miles.
Original equation
Replace d with 600.
Divide each side by 60.
Simplify.
Answer: At this rate, it will take 10 hours to drive 600 miles.
