Answer:

d = 56x + 412

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total number of miles traveled on Monday and Tuesday, use a linear equation to write the function.

y = mx+b where m is the speed or rate of change and b is the starting point.

The starting point on Tuesday is 412 miles. This is b.

The number of miles traveled on Tuesday is found by calculating 56 miles times the number of hours traveled.  This is the slope or m.

So the equation is d = 56h + 412.
