A video game is programmed over a coordinate grid where the bottom left-hand corner of the screen is the origin. In one part of the game, a bird flies in a straight line across the screen from the point (0, 50) to the point (36, 120) in 4 seconds. Use the information to complete the sentences.

Question

Revolt · Accepted Answer

✔ x(t) = 9t and y(t) = 50 + 17.5t; The parametric equations that represent the bird’s programmed path are .: x(t) = 9t and y(t) = 50 + 17.5t; The bird’s path is part of a curve that is a .: line; The point representing the location of the bird after 6 seconds is .: (54, 154)
