Identify Equation and Variable: Identify the equation and the variable to interpret. Equation: D=27.4m+12,100 Variable to interpret: 27.4
Understand Context: Understand the context of the equation. D represents distance in millions of miles. m represents months after January 1,2015.
Interpret Coefficient: Interpret the coefficient 27.4. 27.4 is multiplied by m, which represents months.
Determine Representation: Determine what 27.4 represents in the context of distance and time. 27.4 million miles per month is the rate at which Voyager 1 is moving away from the Sun.
Choose Best Interpretation: Choose the best interpretation from the given options. (A) Voyager 1 left Earth 27.4 months before January 1,2015. (Incorrect) (B) The Voyager 1 has a speed of 27.4 million miles per hour. (Incorrect) (C) The Voyager 1 was a distance of 27.4 million miles from the Sun on January 1,2015. (Incorrect) (D) The Voyager 1 is moving away from the Sun at a rate of 27.4 million miles per month. (Correct)
