Question

In the graph below, which segments represent when the drone may have been hovering in place? __________

Which segment represents lowering to its starting place? ______
If the helicopter picked up speed and rose faster as time when on, would the line be straight or curved? _________ Upward or downward?_______
Equations with two variables. Tell me an x, y ordered pair that is a solution (answer) for this equation. Tip: choose any x, and find the y.
y = 5x – 2
a. Find the slope of a line passing through these ordered pairs. Show your work.
(2, 4) (15, 9)

Answer 1

Question 1:

• The drone was hovering at segments B and D
• Segment E represents the lowering of the drone to its starting point.
• If the drone accelerates, the line would be curved and pointing upward.

Question 2:

(0, -2) is one of the solutions.

Question 3:

Slope =
`(5)/(13)`

Explanation:

Question 3:

Slope of a line = change in y ÷ change in x

For our line; slope =
`(9 - 4)/(15 - 2)` =
`(5)/(13)`
