Two villages are 14km apart in real life. How far apart would they be on A map scale with 1:25000

Given:

Distance between two villages = 14 km

Map scale = 1:25000

To find:

The distance between the two villages on the map.

Solution:

Let the distance between the two villages on the map be x.

Map scale is 1:25000. So,

Therefore, the two villages are 0.00056 km apart on map.

a) y = -3x +2

b) y = 1/2x -6

these 2 can be combined into one equation.

-3x +2 = .5x -6

8 = 3.5x

x = 8 / 3.5 = 2.2857142857

y = -3 * (8 / 3.5) +2

y = (-24 / 3.5) + 2

y = -4.8571428571
