I am able to calculate slope easily and teach it to my daughter. But I cannot for the life of me deal with word problems. Please help or where to start.
The distance between Laura's home and school is 2 miles. Assume she walks at a constant rate. She can walk from home to school in 40 minutes if she doesn't stop. Laura walks halfway and rests for 5 minutes. What is an equation in slope intercept form that could represent her distance with respect to time after 5 minute rest. Let x equal time in minutes and y equal total distance.
Any help would be great.
