Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Tiffany's distance is defined by the equation,
d = 2.5t
Here, d = distance of Tiffany from the starting line
t = time
a). d = 2.5t
Tiffany's rate = 2.5 yards per second
b). Since, slope of a line passing through two points and
is given by,
Slope =
Therefore, slope of the line passing through two points (0, 10) and (10, 35)
=
= 2.5 yards per second
Dion's walking rate = 2.5 yards per second
Equation that defines the distance of Dione,
d = mt + b
Here, m = rate of the walking by Dione
b = y-intercept
Hence, equation will be,
d = 2.5t + 10
c). If d = 60 yards
For Tiffany,
d = 2.5t
60 = 2.5t
t = 24 seconds
For Dion,
d = 2.5t + 10
60 = 2.5t + 10
2.5t = 50
t = 20 seconds
Therefore, Dion will take less time and finish first.
therfore it is option A
