A cargo ship left port A and is headed across the ocean to shipping port B. After one month, the ship stopped at a refueling sta
tion along a path described by a vector with components LeftAngleBracket 14, 23 RightAngleBracket. After another month, on the same path, the ship reached port B, twice the distance from port A as the fueling station. What are the characteristics of the vector representing the path of the ship?
The answer is (5,3). You need to equal both sides out. So 5x-22=4x-17. That will give you x=5. After that you substitute 5 for x in one or both of the equations and get that y=3. Hope this helps!
