(a) The distance traveled at 0 hours is 0 miles.
(b) The distance traveled at 1 hour is 30 miles.
(c) The distance increases by 30 miles for each hour since Tony crossed the bridge.
(d) No, the amounts given in parts (b) and (c) are not equal because the line does not pass through the point (0,0).
After crossing a bridge, Tony drives at a constant speed. The graph below shows the distance (in miles) versus the time since Tony crossed the bridge (in hours).
Use the graph to answer the questions.
