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

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that it takes 3 mins for 45 sit-ups so then you wanna find how much for 1 minute. It shows 3 mins which is 3 times as much as 1 minute. There, 3/3 = 1. then you have to do it with the sit-ups too. so 45/3 = 15

Answer:

t=2

Step-by-step explanation:

I worked it out and got this answer as well but checked it in a calculator and couldn't send my pic in. I hope its right but if t is with 2 on the denominator then its a whole different answer.
