Answer 1

Answer:

(-2,21)

Step-by-step explanation:

2 days ago, Paulo's commute time was halfway between his commute times 8 and 9 days ago.

8 days ago means that x-coordinate -8 represents this day. Count 8 units to the left and find that when x = -8, y = 24 minutes.

9 days ago means that x-coordinate -9 represents this day. Count 9 units to the left and find that when x = -9, y = 18 minutes.

Find halfway commute time between points (-8,24) and (-9,18):

$y=\dfrac{24+18}{2}=\dfrac{42}{2}=21,$

then coordinates that Paulo should graph are

(-2, 21)

(-2 means 2 days ago, 21 is the halfway)
