\bf y=\stackrel{slope}{\cfrac{1}{3}}x+1\impliedby \textit{slope of this line, so a perpendicular will be}
\\\\\\
\textit{perpendicular, negative-reciprocal slope for}\quad \cfrac{1}{3}\\\\
negative\implies  -\cfrac{1}{ 3}\qquad reciprocal\implies - \cfrac{ 3}{1}\implies -3\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1\\
&&(~1 &,& -6~)
\end{array}

\bf slope =  m\implies -3
\\\\\\
% point-slope intercept
\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y- y_1= m(x- x_1)}\implies y-(-6)=-3(x-1)
\\\\\\
y+6=-3x+3\implies 0+6=-3x+3\implies 3=-3x\implies \cfrac{3}{-3}=x
\\\\\\
-1=x\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad (~-1~,~0~)

a dance team has 80 dancers.The ratio of seventh-grade dancers to all dancers is 5:16.Find the number of seventh-grade dancers o
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

  25

Step-by-step explanation:

Each of the 16 "ratio units" representing all 80 dancers must stand for ...

  (80 dancers)/(16) = 5 dancers

Then 5 "ratio units" representing seventh-grade dancers will stand for ...

  5 × 5 dancers = 25 dancers

___

Another way to figure this is to write the proportion ...

  (seventh-grade dancers)/(all dancers) = 5/16

  seventh-grade dancers = (all dancers)×(5/16) = 80×5/16

  seventh-grade dancers = 25

Henry ran five races, each of which was a different positive integer number of
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

10 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of miles on Henry's longest race.

We have been given that Henry ran five races, each of which was a different positive integer number of  miles.

We can set an equation for the average of races as:

\frac{\text{The sum distances of 5 races}}{5}=4

As distance covered in each race is a different positive integer, so let his first four races be 1, 2, 3, 4.

Now let us substitute the distances of 5 races as:

\frac{1+2+3+4+x}{5}=4

\frac{10+x}{5}=4

Let us multiply both sides of our equation by 5.

\frac{10+x}{5}*5=4*5

10+x=20

Let us subtract 10 from both sides of our equation.

10-10+x=20-10

x=10

Therefore, the maximum possible distance of Henry's longest race is 10 miles.
