Answer: A) 264ft/minute

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Based on the information given in the problem, the speed of the track runner was 3 miles per hour ( $3\frac{mi}{h}$ ).

2. If you want to know the speed of the track runner in feet per minute, you need to apply the following proccedure:

$(3\frac{mi}{h})(\frac{5280ft}{1mi})(\frac{1h}{60min})=\frac{(3)(5280)}{60}=264\frac{ft}{min}$

3. Therefore, the answer is the option A.

Write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the given line and that passes through the given point.

HACTEHA [7]

First, let's re-arrange to slope-intercept form.

x + 8y = 27

Subtract 'x' to both sides:

8y = -x + 27

Divide 8 to both sides:

y = -1/8x + 3.375

So the slope of this line is -1/8, to find the slope that is perpendicular to this, we multiply it by -1 and flip it. -1/8 * -1 = 1/8, flipping it will give us 8/1 or 8.

So the slope of the perpendicular line will be 8.

Now we can plug this into point-slope form along with the point given.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = 8(x + 5)

y - 5 = 8x + 40

y = 8x + 45

Answer:

x=5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract x from both sides so you have -3x=-5. Then divide both sides by 3 and you are left with x=5/3
