To reduce the likelihood of an accident when driving, you should consider how

far your car will travel before safely coming to a stop for the speed at which you

are traveling. Assume you are traveling on a dry road and have an average reaction

time. The formula d = 0.044s + 1.1s gives you a safe stopping distance d in feet,

where s is your speed in mi/h. Make a table of values for speeds of 10, 20, 30, 40,

50, and 60 mi/h. Then, graph the function.

Nathalie · Answer 1

10 - - 1.54

20 - - 1.98

30 - - 2.42

40 - - 2.86

50 - - 3.3

60 - - 3.74

Step-by-step explanation:

jus tput the value of x:10,20,30,40,50,60 and calculate y

then plot x and y

Madelynn Lowe · Answer 2

d = 0.044s + 1.1s

d = 1.144s

s. | d.

10 | 11.44

20 | 22.88

30 | 34.32

40 | 45.76

50 | 57.2

60 | 68.64

For the graph, draw a straight line (only in the first quadrant) connecting:

(0,0) and (50,57.2)

Label the horizontal axis "speed (m/h) " and the vertical axis "distance (m)"
