A turtle is 26.2 meters from a pond when it starts crawling toward the pond. The turtle crawls straight toward the pond at a constant rate of 3.5 meters per minute.

Which equation models the distance of the turtle from the pond?

(Let q represent the turtle's distance, in meters, from the pond and p represent the number of minutes since it started crawling toward the pond.)

A. q=26.2−3.5p

B. q=26.2p+3.5

C. q=26.2p−3.5

D. q=26.2+3.5p
