Find the equation of the first line using the two given points: (1,-1) (-1,-5)
Slope = change in Y over change in x:
Slope = (-5-(-1)) / (-1-(1) = -4/-2 = 2
Now find y intercept: y - y1 = m(x-x1) = y -(-1) = 2(x-1)
Simplify to get y = 2x-3
Now a perpendicular line has a opposite reciprocal slope.
The perpendicular line would be y = -1/2x - 3
You are told the y intercept is -4 units greater, so add -4 to -3 to get -7
The answer would be A. y = -1/2x-7
Find unit rate of pages read per minute:
(5/8)/(2/3)
(5/8)*(3/2)
(5*3)/(8*2)
(15)/(16)
15/16
Kenny reads 15/16 pages every minute (unit rate)
Answer: Many of you know this, but why is this a thing? You don't go to Subway and pay for a $5-footlong expecting to get 11 inches (although many of you will argue this is the case). And it's not just a 2x4: A 1x4 is actually ¾ inches by 3-½ inches; a 4x4 is actually 3-½ inches by 3-½ inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
