Answer:

The speeds of the cars is: 0.625 miles/minute

Step-by-step explanation:

We use systems of equations in two variables to solve this problem.

Recall that the definition of speed (v) is the quotient of the distance traveled divided the time it took : v=\frac{distance}{time}. Notice as well that the speed of both cars is the same, but their times are different because they covered different distances. So if we find the distances they covered, we can easily find what their speed was.

Writing the velocity equation for car A (which reached its destination in 24 minutes) is:

v\,*\,24\,min=d_A

Now we write a similar equation for car B which travels 5 miles further than car A and does it in 32 minutes:

v\,*\,32\,min=d_A+5\,miles

Now we solve for d_A in this last equation and make the substitution in the equation for car A:

v\,*\,32\,min=d_A+5\,miles\\d_A=v\,*\,32\,min-5\,miles\\\\v\,*\,24\,min=v\,*\,32\,min-5\,miles\\v\,(24\,min-32\,min)=-5\,miles\\v\,(-8\,min)=-5\, miles\\v=\frac{-5}{-8} \frac{miles}{min} \\v=0.625\,\frac{miles}{min}

So this is the speed of both cars: 0.625 miles/minute

<h2>Coordinate Pairs</h2>

Coordinate pairs are organized like (x,y).

  • x tells us the location of the point in relation to the x-axis, the axis that is horizontal.
  • y tells us the location of the point in relation to the y-axis, the axis that is vertical.

To determine a coordinate pair, we can determine each coordinate individually, then put them together.

<h2>Solving the Question</h2>

Notice how the red point sits on the very edge of the graph.

When we look at the x-axis, we can see that it occurs at the number 0 on the x-axis. In other words, the red point occurs when x=0.

When we look at the y-axis, we can see that it lines up with the number 2. In other words, the red point occurs when y=2.

Therefore, when we put the two coordinates together like (x,y), we get (0,2).

<h2>Answer</h2>

(0,2)
