You are walking directly away from your house. You are 5 miles away from your house when you start walking,

so you can determine your distance from your house by adding 5 to the number of miles you have walked. In the
equation below, z represents the number of miles you have walked, and y represents your distance from home
in miles.
The relationship between these two variables can be expressed by the following equation:
y = 1 + 5
Identify the dependent and independent variables.

Answer:

6 miles(3 miles to your friend's + 3 miles back home) Explanation:

a. What is the distance traveled by the skier during the three minutes of recreation? 360 mAdd the lengths of the three segments - 160 m + 120 m + 80 m. b. What is the net displacement of the skier during the three minutes of recreation? 120 m, EastMeasure from the starting point (A) to the ending point (D); include direction since displacement is a vector. c. What is the displacement during the second minute (from 1 min. to 2 min.)? 120 m, WestThe second minute corresponds to a movement from B to C. Measure from the starting point (B) to the ending point (C); include direction since displacement is a vector. d. What is the displacement during the third minute (from 2 min. to 3 min.)? 80 m, EastThe third minute corresponds to a movement from C to D. Measure from the starting point (C) to the ending point (D); include direction since displacement is a vector.
