Project (40 points): A Place to Call Home
Building a town from scratch is an intricate project. Imagine the zoning codes in your hometown, what do you think are the qualities
that would contribute to a successful town layout? Let say, you were commissioned to build and live in a new town and want to
include the following businesses and community services:
Ambulance Station
Bank
Fire Station
Grocery Store
Police Station
Post Office
Hospital
Community Park
Courthouse
Your House (or your place)
On the attached graph paper, draw an x- axis and y-axis with the origin in the center of the paper. Each grid is equivalent to one
standard city block. Plot each of the above services on your graph. Log the coordinates of each service. Explain your reasoning
behind the placement of each service.
Now find the distance between the locations of the following pairings (choose 2 parings below). Also, find the equation of the line
that passes through each:
1.
Police Station and Courthouse
2.
Ambulance and Hospital
3.
Grocery Store and Community Park
4.
Bank and Post Office
5.
Fire Station and Your House (or your place)
