Y = -2/3x + 5....the slope here is -2/3. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. To find the negative reciprocal, we flip the slope and change the sign. So our perpendicular line will have a slope of 3/2 (see how I flipped -2/3 making it -3/2....and then changed the sign, making it 3/2)
y = mx + b
slope(m) = 3/2
(8,1)....x = 8 and y = 1
now we sub and find b, the y int
1 = 3/2(8) + b
1 = 12 + b
1 - 12 = b
-11 = b
so ur perpendicular equation is : y = 3/2x - 11 <==
The answer is 2.6 m/s
The speed (v) is distance (d) through time (t).
v = d/t
We know:
d = 390 m
t = 150 s
v = d/t
v = 390 m / 150s
v = = 2.6 m/s
Answer:
the reciprocal of 2/7 is 7/2. you just switch the numbers
