Find the velocity first, the "slope".

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(95.5-53)/(4-2)

m=21.25 ? Your equations are wrong, I'll double check with another set of points...

m=(350.5-308)/(16-14)

m=21.25 LOL, yep none of your lines has the correct slope.

Anyway...

y=21.25x+b, using any point we can solve for the y-intercept, or "b", (2, 53)

53=21.25(2)+b

53=42.5+b

10.5=b so the distance to the lighthouse as a function of time is:

y=21.25x+10.5

So essentially, you should fire your teacher or burn that book you are using :)

Determine whether abc ----> jgh is a reflection, translation, rotation, or glide reflection.

Usimov [2.4K]

From this picture you can calculate coordinates of triangles' vertices:
$A(-9,0),\ B(-6,-4),\ C(-3,0),\ J(8,0),\ G(5,4),\ H(2,0)$ .

Since

$\frac{-9+8}{2} = \frac{-6+5}{2}= \frac{-3+2}{2}=- \frac{1}{2}$ $\frac{0+0}{2}= \frac{-4+4}{2} = \frac{0+0}{2} =0$

you can conclude that points A, B, C are rotated by $180^0$ about the point (-0.5,0) to form points J, G, H, respectively.

Answer: A is correct choice.

How many solutions does the system have?

serious [3.7K]

The system has two solutions.

You can tell because the second equation is a quadratic and the first is a line, so the line passes through the quadratic twice.
