The three finalists in a contest are brought to the center of a large, flat field. Each is given a meter stick, a compass, a calculator, a shovel, and (in a different order for each contestant) the following three displacements: -72.4m, 32.0º east of north;
-57.3 m,36.0º south of west;
-17.8 m straight south.

The three displacements lead to the point where the keys to a new Porsche are buried. Two contestants start measuring immediately, but the winner first calculates where to go. What does she calculate?

yes

step-by-step explanation:

lol

answer-

a. the total cost of a taxi ride includes an initial charge of approximately $3.30

solution-

in the graph,

x axis represents the distance traveled and

y axis represents the total fare

the best fit line intersects the y axis approximately at 3.30 or y-intercept is 3.30. at x=0, i.e when the taxi is still, the value of y or the cost of the fare is 3.30. that means $3.30 is the fixed charge which will be levied along with the other fare.

the slope of the line represent the cost per mile. as the best fit line is straight line, so the price per mile is constant.
