Question

Two objects are moving along separate linear paths where each path is described by position, d, and time, t. The variable d is measured in meters, and the variable t is measured in seconds. The equation describing the graph of the position of the first object with respect to time is d = 2.5t + 2.2. The graph of the position of the second object is a parallel line passing through (t = 0, d = 1). What is the equation of the second graph?

Answer 1

Answer:

Linear equation: d = mt+ b

If the graph of the position of the second

object is parallel to d = 2.5 t +2.2, than m

= 2.5

t = 0, d = 1

1 = 2.5.0 + b

b = 1
