to avoid a large shallow reef a ship set a course from point a and traveled 24 miles east to point b . the ship them turn and tr

aveled 33 miles south to point c. if the ship could have traveled in a straight lime from point a to point c about how many miles could it have saved

First, we are going to find the distance traveled by the ship adding the tow distances:
Distance traveled= 24 mi +33 mi=57 mi

Next, we are going to use the Pythagorean theorem to find the distance from a to c:
d^2=24^2+33^2
d^2=576+1089
d^2=1665
d= \sqrt{1665}
d=40.8 mi

Finally, we are going to subtract the two distances:
57 mi -40.8 mi= 16.2 mi

We can conclude that <span>if the ship could have traveled in a straight lime from point a to point c, it could have saved 16.2 miles.</span>

Please tell me the function( will mark as brainiest) thanks
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

y = 8x+8

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve for the function by finding the slope of the linear function using two points. Let's use (0,8) and (1,16)

Slope formula is: m = \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

Plug in the 2 points: m = \frac{16-8}{1-0}

Simplify: m = 8

So now, for the equation y = mx+b, we have m which is y = 8x+b

Now we need to find b by using another point from this linear function.

We can use the point (2,24).

Plug this point into the equation y = 8x+b

  • 24 = 8(2)+b
  • 24 = 16 + b
  • b = 8

We have now found the equation of the linear function: y = 8x+8
