For lines to be perpendicular their slopes must be negative reciprocals of one another, mathematically:
m1*m2=-1
So we first need to find the slope of the reference line.
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=(7-2)/(-1--5)=5/4
So the perpendicular line will have a slope of:
5m/4=-1
m=-4/5
So our perpendicular line so far is:
y=-4x/5+b, now we can use point (3,-1) to solve for the y-intercept, "b"
-1=-4(3)/5+b
-1=-12/5+b
-5/5+12/5=b
7/5=b
So the line is:
y=-4x/5+7/5 or more neatly
y=(-4x+7)/5
y=-0.8x+1.4
15/72=5/24
Divide both by three.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Please consider the complete question.
Sebastian swan laps every day in the community swimming pool. He swam 45 minutes each day, 5 days each week, for 12 weeks. In that time, he swam 1800 laps. What was his average rate in laps per hour?
Let us convert time taken into hours as:


1 hour = 60 minutes. To convert minutes into hours, we will divide total minutes by 60.

Now, we will divide 1800 by 45 to find average rate in laps per hour as:


Therefore, Sebastian's average rate is 40 laps per hour.
Answer: In my answer I got 9 because the formula to find the area it would be A=1/2b*h
Step-by-step explanation: How would you do this?
Well we know that the base equals 6 we have heighth so we would have to do 1.5*6 and that would give us 9 but if we round it would be 10 because 9 is closer to 10 than it is to 0.
thanks :)
I suck at math to I’m so so sorry Ask a tutor they will help
