A software designer is mapping the streets for a new racing game. All of the streets are depicted as either perpendicular or par

allel lines. The equation of the lane passing through A and B is -7x + 3y = -21.5. What is the equation of the central street PQ?
A.
-3x + 4y = 3

B.
-1.5x − 3.5y = -31.5

C.
2x + y = 20

D.
-2.25x + y = -9.75

Answer:

B.   -1.5x − 3.5y = -31.5

Step-by-step explanation:

You forgot to provide the reference image which is essential to answer the question, but I managed to find it... and attach it to my answer.

In the given equation for AB, if we place the y term on the left and x term on the right, we see the slope of that line is 7/3 (y = (7x - 21.5)/3 ==> 7/3x).

We see on the image that the line PQ is perpendicular to AB.  That means that its slope is -3/7.

If we quickly check the slopes of each of the possible answers...

A. -3x + 4y = 3 ----> 4y = 3x - 3 ==> y = (3x-3)/4 => slope = 3/4

Not what we're looking for.

B. -1.5x - 3.5y = -31.5 ==> 3.5y = -1.5x + 31 ===> y = (-1.5x +31)/3.5

that gives us a slope of -1.5/3.5... We can simplify it... -3(0.5)/7(0.5) = -3/7

Exactly as predicted.

Since we have the point P (7,6), we can enter it in the equation to verify:

-1.5x - 3.5y = -31.5

-1.5 (7) - 3.5 (6) = -10.5 - 21 = -31.5  --- Verified

C. 2x + y = 20 ==> y = 20 - 2x ===> slope is -2, not what we want.

D. -2.25x + y = -9.75 ==> y = 2.25x - 9.75 ==> slop is 2.25 cannot be it.

After one hour, Henry's body loses 282 - 265.08 = 16.92 mg of medicine, while Greg's body loses 200 - 200(0.88) = 24 mg of medicine

Therefore, Greg's body is removing the medicine faster.

Hope this helped have a great day.

I'd go with your third option, 6.

Half the diameter (the radius, also the hypotenuse for the right triangle) is 10 units. 

Half of the chord given by that blue line segment is 8 units. Now we do the Pythagorean Theorem (a² + b² = c²) to find the length of x.

x² + 8² = 10²
x² + 64 = 100
x² = 36
√x² = √36
x = 6
