Leonard’s friend gave him directions to the campground. The friend told him to turn left after traveling 56 4/5 miles on the country road. But, the car odometer measures distance in decimals. After how many miles, in decimal form, should Leonard turn left?

56.8 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

4/5 = 0.8

step-by-step explanation:

let

we know that

the y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point when the value of x is equal to zero

so

the y-coordinate of the point a is the y-intercept

the answer part a) is

the value of y-intercept is

part b) find the slope m

we know that

the value of the slope is equal to

substitute the values

therefore

the answer part b) is

the value of the slope is equal to

the general answer is

the slope is

the value of y-intercept is
