Question
Asha is walking along a straight path from the National Geographic Museum towards the
International Spy Museum. The International Spy Museum is 1.22 km east and 0.91 km
south of the National Geographic Museum. Part way along her path, Asha turns
perpendicular to the path she was originally following to a second path towards the
White House. The White House is 0.91 km directly south of the National Geographic
Museum.
A) Using (0,0) for the location of the National Geographic Museum, write a linear
equation for the path from the National Geographic Museum towards the International
Spy Museum. Show how you arrived at your answer.
B) Using (0,0) for the location of the National Geographic Museum, determine the slope
of the line representing Asha's second path and write a linear equation for this path.
Show how you arrived at your answer.
C) Using (0,0) for the location of the National Geographic Museum determine the
location where Asha turned. Write the location as a point (x,y) and describe what these
values represent in this problem.
D) Determine the distance Asha walked along the first path before she turned. Show
how you arrived at your answer.
