A train is spotted 10 miles south and 8 miles west of an observer at 2:00 pm. At 3:00 pm the train is spotted 5 miles north and 16 miles east of the observer. a.) How far did the train travel in the first hour?
b.) If the train continues at this pace where will it be in relation to the observer at 5:00 pm?
c.) Write a function that will give the train's position at any given time.
d.) At 2:00 pm a cyclist is traveling due east and is next to the observer. If the cyclist is traveling at 10 mph, do they collide with the train when the bike goes over the train tracks?

This question is not a good question to ask, it is confusing, and is to complex, In you are supposed to post 1 question at a time not 2 in 1 3in 1 4 in 1 e.t.c.

Sorry i couldnt help you, if you were to post separate questions i would be able to

the formula of a slope:

from a table we have

substitute:

the slope of f(x) is -1.

the graph of funcfion g(x) is a horizontal line. the slope of a horizontal line is equal 0. therefore the slope of g(x) is 0.

-1 < 0

the battle of gettysburg is considered the "high water mark" of the confederacy because it marked the greatest advance of the confederate forces against the union.
