$x\ \textless \ y\\\\
y-x=52\\
\dfrac{y}{4}+2x=85\\\\
y=52+x\\
y+8x=340\\\\52+x+8x=340\\
9x=288\\
x=32\\\\
y-32=52\\
y=84$

32 and 84

Perpendicular to y=2x+9 and has the point (4,-1)

Wewaii [24]

Answer: y = $-\frac{1}{2}$ x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we will find the slope. The slope of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals.

In this case, the first slope is 2. The negative of 2 is -2, and the reciprocal of -2 is $-\frac{1}{2}$ .

Now, we will plug in this new slope, the point given, and solve for the <em>b</em>, or the y-intercept.

y = <em>m</em>x + <em>b</em>

(-1) = ( $-\frac{1}{2}$ )(4) + <em>b</em>

-1 = -2 + <em>b</em>

1 = <em>b</em>

Lastly, we will write our equation.

y = <em>m</em>x + <em>b</em>

y = $-\frac{1}{2}$ x + 1

The line is y = $-\frac{1}{2}$ x + 1, or y = 1 - $\frac{x}{2}$ .

A circular race track has a radius of 200 feet a car drives 50 laps around the track approximately how many miles does the car t

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

11.9 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the track is ...

C = 2πr = 2π(200 ft) = 400π ft

Then the length of 50 laps will be ...

50C = 50·(400π ft) = 20,000π ft ≈ 62,831.9 ft

The number of miles (m) this is can be found from ...

m(5280 ft) = 62,831.9 ft

m = 62,831.9/5280 ≈ 11.90 . . . . miles

50 laps is about 11.9 miles.
