Erik rode down an escalator, while Raj rode up.

A coordinate grid showing Escalator Ride with Seconds on the Escalator on the horizontal, t, axis, and Elevation in meters on the vertical, h, axis with 2 lines. One line labeled Erik, and passes through (0, 12) and (8, 6). The second line labeled Raj, passes through (0, 0) and (8, 6).
Erik's elevation is represented by the equation h = 12 – 0.75t, and Raj's elevation is represented by h = 0.75t. What does the point of intersection on the graph represent?

Erik and Raj were at the same elevation after both of them had been riding the escalator for 6 seconds.
Erik and Raj were at the same elevation after both of them had been riding the escalator for 8 seconds.
Erik and Raj were at the same elevation after Erik had been riding the escalator for 6 seconds and Raj had been on the escalator for 8 seconds.
Erik and Raj were at the same elevation after Erik had been riding the escalator for 8 seconds and Raj had been on the escalator for 6 seconds.

Respuesta :

Answer:

B. They were at the same elevation after riding the escalator for 8 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Point of Intersection

If we solve the elevation equations of both we find that Erik and Raj were at the same elevation after both of them had been riding the escalator for 8 seconds.

What is a graph?

A graph is a collection of various points on a sheet.

What does the intersection point says?

If we take elevation equations of both and solve we could easily find the value of t

h=12-0.75t

h=0.75t

equating both

0.75t=12-0.75t

1.5t=12

t=8

Hence it means that they were at the same elevation after both of them had been riding the escalator for 8 seconds.
