Raina is driving to Las Vegas. Let $$ y $$ represent her distance from Las Vegas (in miles). Let $$ x $$ represent the time she has been driving (in hours). Suppose that $$ x $$ and $$ y $$ are related by the equation $$ 425-65 x=y $$. Answer the questions below. Note that a change can be an increase or a decrease. For an increase, use a positive number. For a decrease, use a negative number. What is the change in Raina's distance from Las Vegas for each hour she drives?

1. The equation given is

$$
   425-65x = y.
   $$

2. In this equation, $$ x $$ represents the time in hours and $$ y $$ represents Raina's distance from Las Vegas in miles.

3. The term $$-65x$$ indicates that for every additional hour, the distance $$ y $$ decreases by 65 miles.

4. Therefore, the change in Raina's distance from Las Vegas for each hour she drives is

$$
   -65 \text{ miles per hour}.
   $$
The change in Raina's distance from Las Vegas for each hour she drives is -65 miles per hour.
