Clay is flying a helicopter at an altitude of 400 feet in the air. Jason is diving 200 feet below the surface.

They are 600 feet apart from each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Clay is 400 feet away from ground level, which is 0, that sums up to 400. And Jason is -200 below 0, but in this case it is only asking for how much they are apart, so the negative doesn't apply to this. Now all you need to do is 400+200, which gives you the answer of 600 feet.

900 degrees

step-by-step explanation:

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."
