Christopher wants to build a road named Rocket Drive that connects Sun Bank to Moonbeam Drive. He wants this road to be as short as possible. Determine the equation of the line that represents
Rocket Drive. Show your work. Then draw and label Rocket Drive on the coordinate plane.

answer:   segregation violated the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment, which holds that no state can “deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

details/explanation:

brown v. board of education of topeka, decided by the us supreme court in 1954, ruled that all americans are entitled to the same civil liberties and protections in regard to access to education. until that decision, it was legal to segregate schools according to race, so that black students could not attend the same schools as white students.   an older supreme court decision, plessy v. ferguson (1896), had said that separate, segregated public facilities were acceptable as long as the facilities offered were equal in quality.   in the case of brown v. board of education, that standard was challenged and defeated.   segregation was shown to create inequality, and the supreme court unanimously ruled segregation to be unconstitutional.

the ruling was important in advancing civil rights because it affirmed that the 14th amendment applies to all rights and privileges of citizens, including access to   education.   this was being violated by states whose laws supported the segregation of schools.   section 1 of the 14th amendment reads as follows:

the translated point is (5,2)

4. satellites sputnik, yeltsin, and plekov often temporarily line up in order in a great circle. the circumference of the earth is 24,900 miles, and the satellites orbit at about 150 miles above the surface. if, while in a great circle, sputnik is 9,000 miles from yeltsin, and yeltsin is 10,500 miles from plekov, how far apart are sputnik and plekov?

answer: b  

6,342 miles

5. identify the statement that is true in spherical geometry.

answer: d  

two distinct lines intersect in two points.
