Sarah is walking diagonally across a park as modeled by the equation y = x − 1. Suppose Marcus starts walking at the point (0, 9) so his path is perpendicular to Sarah's. At what point will Sarah's path and Marcus's path intersect?

Answer:

[tex]A(10,9)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the attached figure.

The equation is [tex]y=x-1[/tex]

At [tex]x=0;y=0-1=-1[/tex]

At [tex]y=0;0=x-1,x=1[/tex]

Plot points [tex](0,-1)\,,\,(1,0)[/tex].

Marcus starts walking at the point B(0, 9) so that his path is perpendicular to Sarah's at point A.

From the graph, Sarah's path and Marcus's path intersect at point [tex]A(10,9)[/tex]
