A family is going from Dallas, Texas, to Los Angeles, California. They have traveled 500 miles so far. The next day, their average speed is 70 miles per hour. Write an equation for the distance they traveled, y , and the hours they have driven, x . Indicate whether this is a proportional or a non proportional situation.(1 point)
The equation for this situation is y = 500 + 70x, where y represents the total distance traveled and x represents the hours driven.
This is a non-proportional situation because the initial distance traveled (500 miles) must be added to the distance traveled based on the hours driven at a constant speed.
