a. The object is moving away from the starting point.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Correct. How about part B?

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

50-11=39

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

how are you getting those values?

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

what's the formula?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you use the slope formula \[\Large m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\]

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

how are you getting (0,11) ?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

it looks more like (0,15)

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

Hmm, your right.

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

b. 10

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

@jim_thompson5910

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

10 seconds

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

10 is correct, but the units aren't "seconds"

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

then it's meters

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

keep in mind that slope = rise/run = distance/time = speed

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so the units are meters/second = meters per second

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

How would I set up the equation for 'c' ?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the slope is m = 10 the y intercept is b = 15 y = mx+b is the general linear equation

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

y=10x+15

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

correct

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

x = time in seconds y = position

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

for part d, plug in x = 10

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

115

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes
