graph%28300%2C300%2C-5%2C70%2C-5%2C100%2C-0.85x%2B100%29
I make a graph with made up miles but the slope is real. This allows me to visualize the problem.
Every 10 minutes, she has 8.5 fewer miles to go. That is a slope of -0.85
She has 48 miles left after 50 minutes. In 16 minutes, she is going to drive 16*0.85=13.60 miles
She will have 48-13.6=34.4 miles
