Step-by-step explanation:

a general line equation is

y = ax + b

the original line is

y = 3/5 x + 10

the factor of x is always the slope (inclination of the line).

it is "y change/x change".

the slope of a perpendicular line (angle of 90°) is turning the slope of the original line upside-down and flips the sign.

so, it is -5/3.

we use the point information to get the right "b" for our new line :

-5 = -5/3 × 15 + b

-5 = -5×5 + b

-5 = -25 + b

b = 20

so, the perpendicular line equation going through (15, -5) is

y = -5/3 x + 20

There were 90 runners just start a race in the first half of the race 1/3 of them dropped out in the second half of the race 1/5
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

6 runners finished the race

Step-by-step explanation:

it starts with 90 runners. then 1/3 of them dropped out in the second half of the race, that means you do 90 divided by 3

90 ÷ 3 = 30

Then, 1/5 of the runners remained.

That means you do 30 divided by 5

30÷ 5= 6

so the answer is 6 remaining runners finished the race.
