The scale on a map is ½ inch = 15 miles. How far apart are two towns that are 2 inches apart on the map? Someone help me please!

The two towns would be 60 miles apart. Because 2 inches divided by 0.5 inches is 4. So you have to multiply 15 miles and you’ll 60 miles

60 miles.
2 / 1/2 = 4
4 x 15 = 60

Please give me brainliest. I need it to get to the next level. I know I did the problem right...
Thanks!!!

What are the rules when multiplying/dividing fractions?

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

To multiply fractions, all you have to do is multiply the numerators and denominators and simplify the result. To divide fractions, you simply have to flip the numerator and denominator of one of the fractions, multiply the result by the other fraction, and simplify.

Answer:

a) $y=\dfrac{5}{2}x$

b) yes the two lines are perpendicular

c) $y=\dfrac{5}{4}x+6$

Step-by-step explanation:

a) All this is asking if to find a line that is perpendicular to 2x + 5y = 7 AND passes through the origin.

so first we'll find the gradient(or slope) of 2x + 5y = 7, this can be done by simply rearranging this equation to the form $y = mx + c$

$5y = 7 - 2x$

$y = \dfrac{7 - 2x}{5}$

$y = \dfrac{7}{5} - \dfrac{2}{5}x$

$y = -\dfrac{2}{5}x+\dfrac{7}{5}$

this is changed into the $y = mx + c$ , and we easily see that -2/5 is in the place of m, hence $m = \frac{-2}{5}$ is the slope of the line 2x + 5y = 7.

Now, we need to find the slope of its perpendicular. We'll use:

$m_1m_2=-1$ .

here both slopes $m_1$ and $m_2$ are slopes that are perpendicular to each other, so by plugging the value -2/5 we'll find its perpendicular!

$\dfrac{-2}{5}m_2=-1$ .

$m_2=\dfrac{5}{2}$ .

Finally, we can find the equation of the line of the perpendicular using:

$(y-y_1)=m(x-x_1)$

we know that the line passes through origin(0,0) and its slope is 5/2

$(y-0)=\dfrac{5}{2}(x-0)$

$y=\dfrac{5}{2}x$ is the equation of the the line!

b) For this we need to find the slopes of both lines and see whether their product equals -1?

mathematically, we need to see whether $m_1m_2=-1$ ?

the slopes can be easily found through rearranging both equations to $y=mx+c$

Line:1

$2x + 3y =6$

$y =\dfrac{-2x+6}{3}$

$y =\dfrac{-2}{3}x+2$

Line:2

$y = \dfrac{3}{2}x + 4$

this equation is already in the form we need.

the slopes of both equations are

$m_1 = \dfrac{-2}{3}$ and $m_2 = \dfrac{3}{2}$

using

$m_1m_2=-1$

$\dfrac{-2}{3} \times \dfrac{3}{2}=-1$

$-1=-1$

since the product does equal -1, the two lines are indeed perpendicular!

c)if two perpendicular lines have the same intercept, that also means that the two lines meet at that intercept.

we can easily find the slope of the given line, y = − 4 / 5 x + 6 to be $m=\dfrac{-4}{5}$ and the y-intercept is $c=6$ the coordinate at the y-intercept will be (0,6) since this point only lies in the y-axis.
