A bicycle path starts 5 miles due east of an intersection, and continues in a straight line to finish 8 miles due north of the same intersection. Let the intersection be represented by the point open paren 0 comma 0 close paren Suppose a cyclist rides the path from start to finish in 2 hours. Which parametric equations model the path of the rider?
Answer
A
x times t is equal to negative 5 halves t plus 5 and y times t is equal to 4 t plus 8
B
x times t is equal to negative 5 halves t plus 5 and y times t is equal to 4 t
C
x times t is equal to 5 t and y times t is equal to 8 t plus 2
D
x times t is equal to 5 t plus 2 and y times t is equal to 8 t
