44. •Cody starts at a point 6 km to the east and 4 km to the south of a location that represents the origin of a coordinate system for a map. He ends up at a point 10 km to the west and 6 km to the north of the map origin. (a) Find his average velocity if the trip took him 4 h to complete. (b) Cody walks to his destination at a constant rate. His friend Marcus covers the distance with a combination of jogging, walking, running, and resting so that the total trip time is also 4 h. How do their aver- age velocities compare?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given:

The time taken for the trip = 4 hour

Initial coordinates = 6 km to the east and 4 km to south 

Ending point coordinates = 6 km to the north and 10 km to the west
