OpenStudy (shaleiah):

a. No, the cyclist don't start at the same point. Cyclist B is ahead.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

correct

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you can tell based on the y intercepts (B has a larger/higher y intercept)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

when do the two cyclists meet?

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

At 5

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

t = 5 seconds, yes

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

at t = 7 seconds, who is ahead?

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

Cyclist A?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes, how do you know? what indicates this?

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

A has a higher x intercept.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

no, you would draw a vertical line through x = 7 then compare the points that form when you cross the vertical line with the diagonal lines
