For perpendicular lines, m2 = -1/m1; where m1 is the slope of line 1 and m2 is the slope of line 2.
m1 = (-4 - 2)/(4 - 2) = -6/2 = -3
m2 = -1/-3 = 1/3
Equation of the required line is given by: y - 4 = 1/3 (x - (-1))
y - 4 = 1/3 x + 1/3
y = 1/3 x + 1/3 + 4
y = 1/3 x + 13/3
Answer:
Answer is after 20 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
10 +2.5x = 3x
10 = 3x-2.5x
10=0.5x
10/.5=x
x=20
At 20 miles they both have a cost of 60
<h3>168 in 2 and then 132 in 2</h3>
