Question 977249: Please , Please, Please don't disregard this message. I need to pass my homework tom. (Sorry if you find it too long)
Reason why I sent this: We were told to draw a car in a cartesian plane (a drawing of a car that wouldn't be mistaken for a kid's work), and I don't understand SOME things about it because it wasn't clearly explained.
Question #1: When you are connecting the points , can the line be curved ? Or should it always be straight ?
Reason why I'm asking: I can't draw a car with only sharp edges. (Of course it has curves)
Question #2: When I draw a circle/oval , where do I put the point for its name/letter(I think it is at the center... Not sure though )
Question #3:How do you get the coordinates of the circle?( Do you get the coordinates of its center?)
I want to clarify more things if I could send a photo, and I hope there's a way to, but thats fine. If you are annoyed by my questions, at least answer the first one.I'd appreciate it very very very much ;-) (Oh, and could you reply asap? I really need it now. TY)

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Q#1:
Depends on how much you know.
Algebra 1, students just know about lines and maybe segments.
Algebra 2, students may know some details about conic sections equations and their graphs.
Write your coordinate relationships in pieces with well specified domains for each piece.
The complete task cannot be done in a hurry; this task can take a few hours, at least.

Send me a "thank you" and I'll send you back some ideas that may help you with this assignment. In general though: linear equations give you straight lines, whereas 2nd degree polynomial equations give you various conic section curves (parabolas, circles, ellipses, and hyperbolas), and then there are all sorts of rational functions, logarithmic functions, and exponential functions to name a few that would provide you with all sorts of curves with which to draw your car.

My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
