Two forest rangers leave base and travel to different parts of the forest.

simone averages 70 km/hr along a straight track in a direction 25°, while bruce averages 80 km/hr in a direction 135°. after 1.5 hours they stop and make radio contact.

a) how far have they each travelled?

b) how far apart are they?

c) simone travels directly to join up with bruce. what bearing should she follow?

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
