Joseph plots the speed of his car and time on a scatter plot. The equation for the line of best fit on his scatter plot is y = -15x + 60, where x is the time in hours and y is the speed in miles/hour. Which statement describes the situation correctly?
The initial speed is 60 miles/hour, and his speed decreases by 15 miles/hour every hour.
The initial speed is 60 miles/hour, and his speed increases by 15 miles/hour every hour.
The initial speed is 0 miles/hour, and his speed increases by 15 miles/hour every hour.
The initial speed is 5 miles/hour, and his speed increases by 30 miles/hour every hour.

Respuesta :

The initial speed is 60 miles/hour, and his speed decreases by 15 miles/hour every hour.

The initial speed is 60 miles/hour, and his speed decreases by 15 miles/hour every hour. Then the correct option is A.

What is the linear system?

A Linear system is a system in which the degree of the variable in the equation is one. It may contain one, two, or more than two variables.

Joseph plots the speed of his car and time on a scatter plot.

The equation for the line of best fit on his scatter plot is y = -15x + 60, where x is the time in hours and y is the speed in miles/hour.

The 60 represents the initial speed and the negative 15 represents the decrease of the speed in miles per hour.
