Answer: The distace between midpoints of AP and QB is .
Step-by-step explanation: Points P and Q are between points A and B and the segment AB measures a, then:
AP + PQ + QB = a
According to the question, AP = 2 PQ = 2QB, so:
PQ =
QB =
Substituing:
AP + 2*() = a
2AP = a
AP =
Since the distance is between midpoints of AP and QB:
2QB = AP
QB =
QB =
QB =
MIdpoint is the point that divides the segment in half, so:
<u>Midpoint of AP</u>:
<u>Midpoint of QB</u>:
The distance is:
d =
d =
So if you want to fit the y-intercepts or "b", on the y-axis you should go by 25's [0, 25, 50, 75, 100...]
If the x-axis <u>does not have to</u> follow the same pattern (25's), you should go by 5's [0, 5, 10, 15, 20...]
y = 7x + 50
y = 2x + 175
First I would plot the y-intercepts for each equation, then plot a few points with x = 5, 10, 15 Then draw a straight line.
The point where the two lines meet/cross paths is your solution. It should be (25, 225) The x-axis is the number of miles, and the y-axis is the total cost. So Truck driver A and B would arrive/be at the same place/meet in 25 miles at the same cost of $225
