Answer:

y = -200x +1600

It takes her 8 hrs to hike 1600 feet.


Step-by-step explanation:

The required equation of the line that models the distance left to hike is y = -200x+1600.

Joan is hiking 600 feet every 3 hours, she wants to cover 1600 feet. The equation of the line to be determined explains the left distance to hike.  

What is Distance?

Distance is defined as the object traveling at a particular speed in time from one point to another.


Here,
Let y be the distance left to hike and x be the time in hours.
Hike rate per hours(m) = 600/3 =200

The equation of the line is y = mx+c
Since m = -200 negative sign shows that decreasing rate.
c = 1600
⇒ y = -200x+1600


Thus, the required equation of the line that models the distance left to hike is y = -200x+1600.
