A line is perpendicular when M1xM2=-1
( when the first and second gradient together would equal -1)
Knowing this we can rearrange to get M2 (M2=-1/M1)
From this you can determine y intercept and that is it
(Answer is y=-1.5x+14.5)

The fine schedule for overdue books at the county library is modeled by the values in the table.

Tasya [4]

Answer:

The answer would be B!

Step-by-step explanation:

In the chart if you divide the number of days over due to the cost of the fine, you get 5/2 every time. therefore, if y is the cost in cents and x is the days overdue, you would multiply x5/2 or y=5/2x, so your answer is B (y=5/2x).

hoped this helped :D

2 5/8 as a rational number ??

arlik [135]

Answer:

It's already a rational number?

Step-by-step explanation:

A rational number is any number that can be written as a fraction/ratio, and $2\frac{5}{8}$ is certainly a fraction. If you meant $2\frac{5}{8}$ as a decimal, then it'd be 2.625.
