Determine time at which distance between is minimal


Two particles are moving in xy plane. Move along straight lines at constant speed. At time t, particle A's position is provided by x=t+2, y=1/2t-3 and particle B's position: x=12-2t, y= 6-1/3t

a) Determine equation of line along which particle A moves. Draw this line and label A's starting point and direction of motion.

B) Determine equation of line along which particle B moves. Draw this line on same axes and label B's starting point and direction of motion.

c) Determine time (t) at which distance between A and B is minimal. Compute locations of particles A and B at this time, and label them on graph.
