This is on a big math test please how do you solve this?? Practice
Christopher is a developer and plans to build a new development. Use the
grid to help Christopher create a map for his development. Each gridline
represents one block
CU
1. There are two main roads that pass through the development, Moonbeam Drive and Sunshine
Avenue. Are these two roads parallel to each other? Explain your reasoning,
2. Christopher wants to build a road named Stargazer Boulevard that will be parallel to Moonbeam
Drive. On this road, he will build a diner located 7 blocks north of the community garden. Determine
the equation of the line that represents Stargazer Boulevard. Show your work. Then draw and label
Stargazer Boulevard on the coordinate plane.
3. Christopher wants to build a road named Rocket Drive that connects Sun Bank to Moonbeam Drive.
He wants this road to be as short as possible. Determine the equation of the line that represents
Rocket Drive. Show your work. Then draw and label Rocket Drive on the coordinate plane.
4. Two office buildings are to be located at the points (8,4) and (12, 10). Would the shortest road between
the two office buildings be a line that is perpendicular to Moonbeam Drive? Explain your reasoning.
5. A straight road named Planet Drive is planned that will connect the diner and the community garden
What is the equation of the line that represents Planet Drive? Show your work. Draw and label Planet
Drive on the coordinate plane.
6. Christopher decides that another road to be named Saturn Avenue is needed that will go past the
cleaners and be perpendicular to Planet Drive. Determine the equation of the line that represents
Saturn Avenue. Show your work. Draw and label Saturn Avenue on the coordinate plane.
