Okay so basically, i’m pretty sure you have to make them catch up with each other, if i’m correct), so if it’s 30 to each student plus 2500 then 2 students is 60 bucks, 3 students is 90 and so on so forth......then if 1 student - 60 then 2 is 120 and vice versa ya know. So keep adding on the amount due for each student plus the extra amount which doesn’t change and make them catch up with each other. Keep on adding student after student and adding the fee until they match up. Sorry it’s not the exact answer but i hope this explains it... if i’m right
We use the distance formula for this problem.
d = √[(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²]
The distance between point (-2,-2) and point (-2,4).
d = √[(⁻2 - ⁻2)² + (4 - ⁻2)²] = 6 units
Then, compute for 20% of 6 units:
Distance traveled = 6(0.2) = 1.2 units
Use 1.2 units as distance and the starting point (-2,-2). The x-coordinate should still be at -2 because the distance is a straight line as shown in the picture.
1.2 = √[(-2 - ⁻2)² + (y - ⁻2)²]
Solving for y,
y = -0.8
The point is found at (-2,-0.8). This is located at quadrant 3. As to the distance traveled, that would be: 1.2*6 = 6 miles. Thus, the answer is C.
I believe the answer is 26, i hope this helps!
