Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the slope of the given points with the point (- 2, 5 )
If the slope is - then the point is on the line
Calculate slope m using the slope formula
m =
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (6, - 1)
m = =
= -
← point (6, - 1) is on the line
Repeat with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, 5 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 8)
m = =
← point (2, 8) is not on the line
Repeat with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 5, 1)
m = =
=
← point (- 5, 1) is not on the line
Repeat with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, 1)
m = = -
← point (1, 1) is not on the line
Thus the point on the line is (6, - 1 ) → A
We can find the acceleration via
We have
Then by definition of average acceleration,
so that
We alternatively could have found the time without knowing the acceleration. Since acceleration is constant, the average velocity is
Then
