Ben runs 37,000 feet in 50 minutes.

What is his average speed over his distance in miles per hour?

y= -5x-1

-5 is the slope while -1 is your y-intercept.

y = -5x - 1

2nd 5.8 mph Divide 37000 by 5280 ft in 1 mile and mult by 5/6 pf an hour which is 50 minutes.

slope intercept form is y=mx+b, where m=slope and b=y-intercept, so:
y=-5x-1
