keeping in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, let's check for the slope of the equation above

2x+3y=21\implies 3y=-2x+21\implies y=\cfrac{-2x+21}{3} \\\\\\ y=\cfrac{-2x}{3}+\cfrac{21}{3}\implies y=\stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{-\cfrac{2}{3}}x+7\qquad \impliedby \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}

therefore then

\stackrel{~\hspace{5em}\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}~\hspace{5em}} {\stackrel{slope}{\cfrac{-2}{3}} ~\hfill \stackrel{reciprocal}{\cfrac{3}{-2}} ~\hfill \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{-\cfrac{3}{-2}\implies \cfrac{3}{2}}}

Answer:

(B)(0,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the start point at (4,1)

Given the (x,y) coordinates

  • Moving to the left 4 places is: x-4
  • Moving up 4 places: y+4

Therefore, applying the rule(x-4, y+4) to (4,1), we have:

(4-4, 1+4)=(0.5)

The coordinates of the new ordered pair is (0,5).

The correct option is B.

Jason's monthly practice time on the piano is 35 hours. This month, he has practiced 8.5 hours in week 1, 12 hours in week 2, an
krok68 [10]

Given :

Monthly practice time , T=35 hours .

This month, he has practiced 8.5 hours in week 1, 12 hours in week 2, and 5.5 hours in week 3.

To Find :

Many more hours of practice time does Jason need to complete .

Solution :

Number of hours he practice in week 1 , t_1=8.5\ hours .

Number of hours he practice in week 2 , t_2=12\ hours .

Number of hours he practice in week 3 , t_3=5.5\ hours .

Now , number of hours left is :

t=T-t_1-t_2-t_3\\\\t=35-(8.5+12+5.5)\ hours\\\\t=8\ hours

Hence , this is the required solution .
