<span>y=(4/9)x-2
This is in slope intercept form (y=mx+b), where m is the slope.
A perpendicular line will have the opposite reciprocal of the slope.
So if the slope here is 4/9, then the perpendicular line's slope will be -9/4.
Now that you have the slope (-9/4) and a point (4, 3), you can use the point-slope formula to find the equation.
y - y</span>₁ = m(x - x₁)
y - 3 = (-9/4)(x - 4)
y - 3 = (-9/4)x + 9
y = (-9/4)x + 12
So the answer will be:
C. <span>y= -(9/4)x+12</span>
Answer:
student A- can run 2/3 mile in six minutes
1/9 mile/min
student B- can run 1/2 mile in 4 minutes
Speed=1/8 mile/min
student C- can run 4/5 mile in 8 minutes
speed=1/10 mile/min
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
1) Distance=Speed*time
90=(x+1)*(x)+(2x+5)(x-1)
90=x^2+x+2x^2-2x+5x-5
3x^2+4x-95=0
2) 3x^2+4x-95=0. Using quadratic formula, we get
x=(-4±sqrt(16-4*3*(-95)<u>)</u>)/6, x=5 or - 19/5 but since x also represents time, it can't be negative.
3) Total time take she took for the journey is x+x-1=2x-1=2*5-1=9 hours
