[size=150][size=100]There is a hiking trail near the town where Han and Jada live that starts at a parking lot and ends at a lake. Han and Jada both decide to hike from the parking lot to the lake and back, but they start their hikes at different times.[br][br]At the time that Han reaches the lake and starts to turn back, Jada is 0.6 miles away from the parking lot and hiking at a constant speed of 3.2 miles per hour toward the lake. Han’s distance, [math]d[/math] from the parking lot can be expressed as [math]d=-2.4+4.8[/math], where represents the time in hours since he left the lake.[br][br]What is an equation for Jada’s distance from the parking lot as she heads toward the lake?[/size][/size]
