Answer:

The correct option is d.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distances (y), in miles, of two cars from their starting points at certain times (x), in hours, are shown by the equations

Car A:

y=60x+10             ... (1)

Car B:

y=40x+70            .... (2)

Equate equation (1) and (2), to find the hours after which the two cars be at the same distance from their starting point.

60x+10=40x+70

60x-40x=70-10

20x=60

x=3

The value of x is 3. It means after 3 hours two cars be at the same distance from their starting point.

Substitute x=3 in equation (1) to find the distance.

y=60(3)+10

y=180+10=190

The distance is 190 miles.

Therefore option d is correct.

We can simply set the two equations equal to each other:

60x+10=40x+70

We subtract 40x+10 from both sides to get:

20x=60

Divide by 20 to find that x=3.  Substitute this back into either equation to find the amount of miles - using the first, 60*3+10=190, so the answer is D.

Please help, it's urgent!

It’s the first answer choice... the translation was 5 units to the right (horizontal movement so it affects the x) and it’s to the right (which makes it a positive 5). It didn’t move up or down so the y stays the same

Hope it helps

Answer:

A. y=3x-10

C. y+6=3(x-15)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The given line is 6x+18y=5

Express this in slope-intercept form y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

6x+18y=5\\18y=-6x+5\\y=-\frac{6}{18}x+\frac{5}{18}\\y=-\frac{1}{3}x+\frac{5}{18}

Therefore, the slope of the line is m=-\frac{1}{3}.

Now, for perpendicular lines, the product of their slopes is equal to -1.

Let us find the slopes of each lines.

Option A:

y=3x-10

On comparing with the slope-intercept form, we get slope as  m_{A}=3.

Now, m\times m_{A}=-\frac{1}{3}\times 3=-1. So, option A is perpendicular to the given line.

Option B:

For lines of the form x=a, where, a is a constant, the slope is undefined. So, option B is incorrect.

Option C:

On comparing with the slope-point form, we get slope as  m_{C}=3.

Now, m\times m_{C}=-\frac{1}{3}\times 3=-1. So, option C is perpendicular to the given line.

Option D:

3x+9y=8\\9y=-3x+8\\y=-\frac{3}{9}x+\frac{8}{9}\\y=-\frac{1}{3}x+\frac{8}{9}

On comparing with the slope-intercept form, we get slope as  m_{D}=-\frac{1}{3}.

Now, m\times m_{D}=-\frac{1}{3}\times -\frac{1}{3}=\frac{1}{9}. So, option D is not perpendicular to the given line.
