peyton steers a remote-control car. The equation y=3x+4 can be used to find y, the cars distance from peyton in feet after x seconds.

Question

Identify the slope, What does it tell you about the car's distance from Peyton after 1 second.
The slope is ___. After 1 second,the car's distance ______ by ___ feet.

Answer 1

In the equation \( y = 3x + 4 \), the slope is \( 3 \).

The slope tells you that the car's distance from Peyton increases by \( 3 \) feet every second.

Thus, after 1 second, the car's distance increases by 3 feet.
