1. Model Crossing Times

A ferry company estimates crossing time using route distance. Each estimate includes 4 minutes for docking plus 2 minutes for every kilometer traveled. Let d be route distance in kilometers and t be total crossing time in minutes.

Complete an equation that works for every route in this model.

t = d +

The company chooses a route distance and then calculates its estimated crossing time. Which statement describes the relationship?
