x(t) = 20t
y(t) = 40t - 5t^2
Since we are only interested in comparing the two at time t = 5 seconds, we plug in 5 everywhere we see the variable t and then compare x and y
x(5) = 20(5) becomes x(5) = 100
y(5) = 40(5) - 5(5)^2 becomes y(5) = 200 - 125 and then y(5) = 75
The ratio of y to x can be expressed as: y/x, so we can say the ratio is equal to 75/100 or 0.75
Answer: 0.75
Answer A is correct because the straight line is called a parallel line
If "a" and "b" are two values of x-coordinate, and "m" is the midpoint between them, it means the distance from one end to the midpoint is the same as the distance from the midpoint to the other end
... a-m = m-b
When we add m+b to this equation, we get
... a+b = 2m
Solving for m gives
... m = (a+b)/2
This applies to y-coordinates as well. So ...
... The midpoint between (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is ((x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2)
_____
Jennifer had (x1, y1) = (-4, 10) and (x2, y2) = (-2, 6). So her calculation would be
... midpoint = ((-4-2)/2, (10+6)/2) = (-6/2, 16/2) = (-3, 8)
Brandon had (x1, y1) = (9, -4) and (x2, y2) = (-12, 8). So his calculation would be
... midpoint = ((9-12)/2, (-4+8)/2) = (-3/2, 4/2) = (-1.5, 2)
B. A and C, they both have area of 48.
a parallel line to that one above, will have the same exact slope, since parallel lines have the same slope.
