Bryn is riding his bicycle at a constant speed from school to the library. His distance from the library in kilometers x hours after leaving school can be modeled by the equation Y=20-12X. What is the distance between the school and the library in kilometers?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The distance is 20km

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]y = 20 - 12x[/tex]

Required

The distance between [tex]the\ library\ and\ the[/tex] school

The function represents the distance [tex]y = 20 - 12x[/tex]

So, when x = 0.

This implies that he has not started moving.

So:

[tex]y = 20 - 12 * 0[/tex]

[tex]y = 20 - 0[/tex]

[tex]y = 20[/tex]
