Let v be the usual speed, and t be the usual time.

Following the equation s=vt, where s is the space, v is the velocity and t is time, we know that usually we have

200=vt

But this time we were 10mph faster and it took one hour less, so we have

200=(v+10)(t-1)

Since both right hand sides equal 200, they must equal each other:

vt=(v+10)(t-1)=vt+10t-v-10 \iff 10t-v-10=0 \iff v=10t-10

Plug this value in the first equation and we have

200=vt=(10t-10)t \iff 10t^2-10t-200=0

This equation has solutions t=-4,\quad t=5. We can only accept positive solutions, so we have t=5. We finally deduce, again from the first equation,

200=5v \iff v=\dfrac{200}{5}=40

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If slope of two lines are equal, then they are parallel lines.

If product of the slope of two lines is (-1), then they are perpendicular lines.

C) y = x + 2

Slope m1 = 1

y = -x + 3

Slope m2 = -1

m1 * m2 = 1 * (-1) = -1

These are perpendicular lines.

D) y = 3x + 2

Slope = m1 = 3

y = 3x - 2

Slope = m2 = 3

Slopes are equal. So, they are parallel lines.

E)y= 3

This line is parallel to x -axis.

x = 4

This line is parallel to y-axis.

So, both lines are perpendicular to each other.

F) y = x + 8

slope m1  = 1

y = -x + 3

Slope = m2 = -1

M1 * m2 = 1 * (-1) = -1

So, These are perpendicular lines

Find the point on the line y = 2x + 3 that is closest to the origin.
ch4aika [34]
1)We have to make a line perpendicular to y=2x+3, passing through the point (0,0).

y=2x+3   
m=solpe=2

The slope of the line perpedicular to y=2x+3 is m´
m´=-1/m
m´=-1/2

Point slope form:
y-y₀=m(x-x₀)
(0,0)
m=-1/2

y-0=-1/2(x-0)
y=-x/2

Therefore, the line perpendicular to y=2x+3 is y=-x/2.

2)The point on the line y=2x+3 tha is closest to the origin is the point of intersection of the two lines.

y=2x+3
y=-x/2

We can solve this system of equations by equalization method.
2x+3=-x/2
least common multiple=2
4x+6=-x
4x+x=-6
5x=-6
x=-6/5  (=-1.2)

y=-x/2
y=-(-6/5)/2=6/10=3/5    (=0,6)

Therefore: the point of the line y=2x+3 that is closest to the origin is:
 (-1.2 , 0.6)
