Answer and Explanation
Your Answer is
Correct Answer is C
Explanation
The plane is flying parallel to AB, that is, the x-axis, and at y=12000, choose C.
Use the following information to answer questions 32-35.
In the figure below, a highway rest area (at D) and radar stations (at A and B) lie on a level east-west line; A is 9,000 feet due west of D. An airplane (at C) is shown directly above the rest area, flying due west at a constant speed of 300 feet per second and at a constant altitude of 12,000 feet. The airplane is located at a straight-line distance of 15,000 feet from the radar station at A and 13,000 feet from the radar station at B.
33. Let A, C, and D lie in the standard (x, y) coordinate plane such that A is at (0,0) and D is at (9,000, 0). Which of the following equations represents the line along which the airplane is flying?
