A.

To describe the motion of the Civic in terms of x and y

Y=50t

and

x=0

To describe the motion of the Corolla in terms of x and y

X=-60t

and y=0

B. To find the distance that the two cars are apart from each other after 2
hours, plug 2 in for t in both equations

100
mi

120
mi

Once you have done this you can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve for
the distance between the two cars, 1202+1002=c2
Using this method you will find that the cars will be 156.2 miles apart after
2 hours
C. The equation for distance at t time would be
((50)2 + (60)2 )
