A motorboat moves across a lake at a constant speed. When it begins, it is 28
km from the shore. After 12 minutes, it is 4 km from the shore. Which
function describes the motorboat's distance from the shore?
O A. y=-12x+28
B. y=-2x + 28
c. y = 2x+28
D. y = 12x + 28

Sagot :

Answer: B. y= -2x+28

Steps:

In the equation, take,"y" as result of the distance of the motorboat from the shore.

Now take the "x" value as the time taken. And hold the unit of x as 12 because you already know that in 12 minutes the motorboat is 4km far from the shore. Then solve the four equations and find out which ones value of,"y" comes 4

After doing all the equations i m pretty sure you will that B. y=  -2x + 28

y= -2 * 12 + 28

y= -24+28

y= 4
