Answer:

Therefore, the slope of the red line must be -7

Step-by-step explanation:

If the two lines are said to be perpendicular each other, then the multiplicative of their slope is -1.

Let "m1" be the slope a line and "m2" be the slope of the perpendicular line.

So, m1*m2 = -1

Here, let's take "m1" be the slope of the green line and "m2" be the slope of the red line.

They said to be perpendicular to each other.

So, m1*m2 = -1

Given: m1 = 1/7

NOw plug in m1 = 1/7 in the above statement, we get

1/7 *m2 = -1

Let's find the value of m2, multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 1/7

The reciprocal of 1/7 is 7.

7*1/7*m2 = -1*7

7/7.m2 = -7

m2 = -7

Therefore, the slope of the red line must be -7

It is in the air 5.625 seconds.

Using the quadratic formula,

$t=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}
\\
\\=\frac{-90\pm \sqrt{90^2-4(-16)(0)}}{2(-16)}
\\
\\=\frac{-90\pm \sqrt{8100-0}}{-32}
\\
\\=\frac{-90\pm \sqrt{8100}}{-32}=\frac{-90\pm90}{-32}
\\
\\=\frac{-90+90}{-32}\text{ or }\frac{-90-90}{-32}=\frac{0}{32}\text{ or }\frac{-180}{-32}
\\
\\=0\text{ or }5.625$

0 is when the ball is first launched, 5.625 is when it hits the ground again.
