Two sailboats are traveling along the same path away from a dock, beginning from different locations at the
same time. John's boat begins 20 miles from the dock and
is 55 miles from the dock after 5 hours. The distance of
Roberta's boat from the dock is represented by the
function y= 6x + 10, where x represents time and y
represents the distance from the dock.
Which boat was farther from the dock at the beginning, and which traveled
more quickly?
O A. Roberta's boat was farther from the dock at the beginning, but
John's boat trzeled more quickly
B. John's boat was farther from the dock at the beginning, and it
traveled more quickly
C. Roberta's boat was farther from the dock at the beginning and it
traveled more quickly.
D. John's boat was farther from the dock at the beginning, but
