Answer:

y=-1.5x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

18y=12x-72

3y=2x-12

y=2/3x-4

Slope=-1.5

7=-6(-1.5)+b

7=9-2

Steph,andra,emily,and becca are planning a road trip from their hometown to san antonio

morpeh [17]

Answer:

a. Emily should begin her turn as the third driver at point (1, -0.5).

b. Emily's turn to drive end at point (-2.5, -3.75).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let assume that the group of girls travels from their hometown to San Antonio in a straight line. We know that each location is, respectively:

Hometown

$H(x,y) = (8,6)$

San Antonio

$T(x,y) = (-6,-7)$

Then, we can determine the end of each girl's turn to drive by the following vectorial expression based on the vectorial equation of the line:

Steph

$S(x,y) = H(x,y) + \frac{1}{4}\cdot [T(x,y)-H(x,y)]$ (1)

$S(x,y) = (8,6) + \frac{1}{4}\cdot [(-6,-7)-(8,6)]$

$S(x,y) = (8,6) +\frac{1}{4}\cdot (-14,-13)$

$S(x,y) = (4.5,2.75)$

Andra

$A(x,y) = H(x,y) + \frac{2}{4}\cdot [T(x,y)-H(x,y)]$ (2)

$A(x,y) = (8,6) + \frac{2}{4}\cdot [(-6,-7)-(8,6)]$

$A(x,y) = (8,6)+\frac{2}{4}\cdot (-14,-13)$

$A(x,y) =(1, -0.5)$

Emily

$E(x,y) = H(x,y) + \frac{3}{4}\cdot [T(x,y)-H(x,y)]$ (3)

$E(x,y) = (8,6) + \frac{3}{4}\cdot [(-6,-7)-(8,6)]$

$E(x,y) = (8,6)+\frac{3}{4}\cdot (-14,-13)$

$E(x,y) = (-2.5, -3.75)$

a. If the girls take turns driving and each girl drives the same distance, at what point should they stop from Emily to begin her turn as the third driver?

Emily's beginning point is the Andra's stop point, that is, $A(x,y) =(1, -0.5)$ .

Emily should begin her turn as the third driver at point (1, -0.5).

b. At what point does Emily's turn to drive end?

Emily's turn to drive end at point (-2.5, -3.75).

1 cup = 8 fluid ounces Does that mean it takes 24 fluid ounces of water to fill any 3 plastic cups?

Pavel [41]

Notice they say Plastic cups. Cups and plastic cups are not the same. Cups are a form of measurement while plastic cups are a container. This is not a true statement. Hope this helps!
